Why Investors Are Buying More Government Bonds
Global bond yields have risen significantly this year, driven by a strong wave of selling that pushed the yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds to their highest levels since 2007. It is expected that 30-year U.S. Treasury yields will reach 6% by year-end, amid rising borrowing costs in Japan and France reaching record levels. The pressure on bonds continues due to persistent inflation, strong economic growth, rising commodity prices, increased interest rates by the Federal Reserve and other central banks, and high military spending, particularly in the United States and Europe. Factors such as the decline in global savings surplus, reductions in bond holdings by the Federal Reserve, increasing government debts, higher energy and food prices, and the depreciation of the Japanese yen have also contributed to the rise in yields. Collectively, these factors explain the ongoing increase in bond yields amidst a risky economic and political environment, with expectations that they will continue to rise in the near future.
