Is the low interest rate period for U.S. bonds over
U.S. 30-year Treasury bond yields surpassed 5% for the first time since before the global financial crisis, amid declining demand from foreign governments and pension funds, while the supply continues to grow due to increasing U.S. public debt that has exceeded $40 trillion. Analyses indicate that the low interest rate environment that persisted for a decade was exceptional and not the norm, as the market is now trending toward levels more aligned with economic fundamentals due to rising supply and mounting debt. Experts believe that the sustainable solution lies in reducing public debt levels, as rising yields will impact households, corporations, and the government. It is also expected that mortgage rates in the United States will reach around 6%, adding financial pressures on both the government and businesses. Despite these challenges, rising yields could restore market balance and lead to a more honest and sustainable economy.
