What bond yields reveal about global debt
The rise in global bond yields, including long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, is due to an increased supply of bonds and fierce competition among governments and corporations for capital, rather than solely being linked to U.S. interest rates. The yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury bond reached its highest level since 2002, with expectations of continued pressure on yields driven by rising energy prices and weak investor demand. The world is heavily indebted, with global debt reaching $365 trillion in the first half of 2026, intensifying the risks of a sovereign debt crisis—especially as borrowing costs rise for countries like France and criticism increases regarding the fragility of public finances.
