US 30-Year Treasury Yields Reach 25-Year High Amid Rising Debt and Inflation
The US government is selling 30-year Treasury bonds at yields above 5.2%, the highest since 2001, amid rising inflation and increased borrowing costs. The national debt is nearing $40 trillion, with debt-to-GDP ratios expected to exceed historical highs in coming years. Investors demand higher yields due to inflation, fiscal deficits, and economic uncertainties, raising concerns about the cost of servicing debt and potential impacts on the broader economy and global markets.
