The article points to a rise in global government bond yields due to increased selling activity, driven by concerns over inflation, rising debts, and ongoing economic growth. Investors are seeking higher returns amid these conditions. Among the main reasons for this trend are the continued strength of economic growth despite geopolitical tensions, rising commodity prices, rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and other central banks, increased borrowing by technology companies, growing fiscal deficits and debts, higher military spending, Japan's reduced holdings of foreign bonds, the impact of trade disputes, shifts in the investor base, and a contraction in the global savings surplus. A survey forecasts that 30-year U.S. Treasury yields could reach 6% by year's end, while the Bloomberg index has hit its highest level since 2000. These factors are contributing to volatility in the bond market, where global bonds have lost 2.7%, compared to stock gains of 13%.
