Global bond yields fall after U.S. Treasury moves
Global bond yields temporarily declined after the US Treasury stepped in to contain a sharp sell-off in the government debt market, announcing a doubling of long-term bond buyback programs. This move led to US 30-year bond yields falling to 5.19%, while the 10-year yields decreased to 4.64%. The decline comes amid concerns over rising borrowing costs and the increasing US national debt, which has surpassed $40 trillion, exerting pressure on financing markets. Additionally, global markets saw a retreat in Japanese and German bond yields, with stocks rising and risk appetite improving. However, the overall direction remains dependent on US monetary policy expectations, which suggest a potential rate hike again to combat inflation.
