- U.S. Treasury yields climbed to multi-decade highs as a global bond sell-off — driven by surging U.S. national debt — sent borrowing costs to their highest level since 2007, per Fox Business and The New York Times.
- Reuters reported the bond selloff has slowed, even as oil prices climbed further — a contrarian signal within coverage that otherwise emphasizes the rout.
Why it matters: With U.S. borrowing costs at their highest since 2007 and Treasury yields at multi-decade highs, the federal government's interest burden and consumer borrowing costs across mortgages, auto loans, and credit all face upward pressure — but Reuters' note that the selloff has slowed is the one signal the dominant 'getting hammered' framing tends to bury.
