30-year US bond yields hit 2004 high

U.S. 30-year bond yields have risen to their highest level since 2004, reaching around 5.45%, driven by higher long-term borrowing costs amid strong economic growth, rising debt levels, and growing inflation concerns due to increased energy prices and the conflict with Iran. This has triggered a broad wave of selling in the bond market, which has been under pressure for months, with yields increasing while bond prices decline. Despite this, investors have managed to absorb the rise thanks to robust economic growth and high corporate profits. However, the increase in mortgage rates to 7% threatens to raise the interest burden on the government and consumers, and raises the risk of future financial market turbulence.
