Global government bond market update
Long-term government bond yields in global markets have surged to unprecedented levels, with the yield on 30-year US Treasury bonds reaching 5.33%, the highest since 2007. German and foreign bonds have also reached their highest levels in many years. This escalation is driven by concerns over increasing government debt and rising inflation due to higher oil prices and energy costs in the Strait of Hormuz. The rise is attributed to investors' fears of sustained government borrowing, especially in the United States and Britain, as well as the impact of higher oil prices on living costs and inflation. Additionally, technology companies are increasingly issuing more debt to finance their investments, particularly in artificial intelligence, raising concerns about their ability to meet obligations if borrowing costs continue to climb.
