- Treasury yields climbed to multi-decade highs, driven by a broad bond sell-off linked by outlets to surging U.S. national debt.
- U.S. government borrowing costs reached their highest level since 2007, with outlets noting that the spike in yields directly raises what Washington must pay to finance its debt.
Why it matters: When 10-year borrowing costs last touched these levels in 2007, it foreshadowed acute fiscal stress; today's parallel means every new dollar of U.S. debt now costs more to service, amplifying the burden of the very national debt the sell-off is reacting to.
