Global shift to higher interest rates
The world has entered a high-interest-rate phase, where a wave of global bond sell-offs is driving up borrowing costs for both governments and the private sector. Ten-year bond yields have reached their highest levels since 2011 in Germany, surpassed 3% in Japan, and hit their highest point since November 2023 in the United States. British bond yields have also climbed to levels not seen since 2008. These increases are the result of higher debt issuance, oil price shocks, and expectations of continued tight monetary policy, which are putting pressure on governments, corporations, and consumers. As a result, borrowing costs—especially for heavily indebted countries—are expected to rise, potentially reducing growth opportunities and economic expansion.
