- U.S. bond yields are rising relentlessly, prompting Yahoo Finance to dig into the structural drivers behind the sustained move.
- Borrowing costs are soaring across the economy but, per the WSJ, have not yet slowed U.S. economic activity.
- Rapid rate increases historically precede financial stress, with CNBC citing the warning that "something always breaks" when rates climb this quickly.
Why it matters: Borrowing costs are soaring fast enough that multiple outlets are invoking historical warnings about financial breakages, yet the U.S. economy is still described as robust — a divergence that markets are watching closely, since either the economy bends to higher rates or the bond market's fears prove overblown.
