- Global bond markets sold off as surging oil prices stoked inflation fears, prompting a renewed wave of selling in government debt worldwide.
- Bond markets later stabilised after the sell-off, but Treasury yields remained near multi-year highs as August CPI data confirmed sticky underlying inflation.
Why it matters: Elevated Treasury yields near multi-year highs raise borrowing costs for governments, corporations, and consumers. Sticky August CPI limits central banks' room to cut rates, while renewed oil-driven inflation fears add pressure to already-strained global debt markets.
