- Bond yields are hovering near multi-year highs, with Bloomberg specifically flagging the 5% level and saying "market cracks" are growing as Wall Street tries to live with the rate environment.
- High government debt is adding fuel to the global bond-market selloff, per WSJ, while Reuters commentary titled "Yield to worst" frames the pain for Treasury holders and Fox Business zooms in on what it means for individual wallets.
Why it matters: Bond yields stuck near 5% with widening cracks raise the cost of government borrowing and ripple into mortgages, corporate debt, and long-duration assets — a backdrop the WSJ directly links to ballooning government debt, not just Fed policy.
