U.S. bond yields remain high amid inflation fears
Reports indicate that U.S. Treasury bond yields remained near high levels, after reaching their highest points in nearly two decades, amid a deteriorating financial situation in the United States and inflation rates still above the 2% target. The yield on 30-year bonds fell to 5.294%, after hitting a 19-year high, while the yield on 10-year bonds declined to 4.712%, and the two-year bond yield dropped to 4.171%. The increase in the U.S. budget deficit to $432.3 billion in July — the highest monthly deficit since March 2021 — along with interest costs totaling $1.2 trillion this year, has raised borrowing costs amid ongoing inflation pressures and geopolitical threats in the Middle East. Additionally, government bond yields in Japan, Germany, and France have hit historic highs, with fears growing over the persistence of global economic volatility.
