- The 30-year Treasury yield climbed past 5.33%, marking a 19-year high as markets priced in renewed inflation and government-spending worries.
- Global bond markets pushed governments on notice over fiscal and inflation risks, sending bond yields sharply higher and pulling stocks lower as government borrowing costs reached their highest levels in years.
Why it matters: A 30-year Treasury yield above 5.33% — the highest in 19 years — raises the cost of servicing sovereign debt at a moment when major governments are already running elevated deficits, forcing fiscal consolidation or higher interest expense onto balance sheets.
