US, French, and UK sovereign bond yields hit multi-decade highs amid inflation and fiscal concerns
US 10-year Treasury yield reached 24-year high of ~5.34%, French 10-year yields hit highest since 2002 near 5%, and UK 30-year gilts exceeded 6% for first time since 1998. French-German spread widened to over 140 basis points.
TLDR
This represents one of the most significant bond market moves in decades, tightening financial conditions globally, pressuring stocks especially in Europe and Asia, weakening the euro, and raising questions about debt sustainability. The moves have ripple effects on housing costs, corporate borrowing, mortgage rates, and central bank policy expectations as markets anticipate ECB responses.
