Global bond yields reach 20-year high
Global bond yields have risen to their highest levels in nearly two decades, as markets are impacted by increased inflation risks driven by rising oil prices and escalating political tensions, especially with the prospects of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. The yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds surged to 3% for the first time since 1996, while the yield on the Bloomberg Global Sovereign Bond Index reached 3.72%, the highest since 2008. These increases come after Federal Reserve Chairman's statements emphasizing the need to curb inflation, along with the impact of rising oil prices resulting from escalating tensions in the Middle East. This combination heightens inflationary pressures and leads investors to anticipate higher interest rates for an extended period, fueled by government spending pressures and increased demand for higher yields from investors. Meanwhile, markets expect bond selling to continue amid forecasts of sustained interest rate hikes over the long term.
