    Published Long-term borrowing costs across some of the word's biggest economies hit fresh highs because of concerns over inflation, government debt levels and spending on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

    MarketWatch

    The sell-off in global bond markets continued early Tuesday, pushing many benchmark borrowing costs to multi-year highs amid concerns about inflation, government budget deficits and increased supply of debt.

  3. The yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury bond hit 5.323% on Tuesday, a 19-year high, before edging down to just below 5.3%. The 10-year Treasury yield — a key benchmark for fixed mortgage rates and other longer-term loans — is above 4.7%. That compares to below 4% before the start of the Iran War at the end of February.

    The yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury BX:TMUBMUSD30Y, known as the long bond, which is particularly sensitive to rising inflation, is up nearly 2 basis points to 5.234%, its highest level since June 2007.

  4. Stocks Take Hit as Bond Selloff Saps Risk Appetite A selloff in chipmakers sent stocks lower, with the market also falling as inflation angst and rising government debt kept bond yields elevated. Longer-dated bonds are at the epicenter of anxiety about everything from inflation to the debt-laden artificial-intelligence boom. Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab, discusses the gap between sell-side consensus and buy-side expectations. (Source: Bloomberg)

  5. Rates on car loans, credit cards and student debt are also directly or indirectly tied to bond yields, meaning those monthly payments could increase as well.

  4. 04 CNBC

    An eye-popping ascent in bond yields is raising alarm on Wall Street that the artificial intelligence trade could see some new financial pressure. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield hit its highest level in 19 years on Tuesday, topping the 5.33% level. The trend spread overseas: Japan's 10-year bond yield touched three-decade highs , while the 30-year bond yields from Germany and France rose to levels not seen since 2011 and 2008, respectively. Rising bond yields have been tied to concerns about persistent inflation and the growing U.S. debt load. Investors are worried that elevated yields could hamper what has become a key driver for the U.S. stock market in recent years: the artificial intelligence buildout.
