- Global bond yields climbed to multi-decade highs as governments faced elevated borrowing costs amid the U.S.-Iran stalemate.
- The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield topped 5.33% — a new 19-year high — on inflation and spending concerns, while stocks slipped, per The New York Times.
Why it matters: A 30-year Treasury yield at a 19-year high above 5.33% raises the bar for every government and corporation borrowing in dollar markets, compounding debt-service costs at exactly the moment the Iran stalemate is adding a geopolitical risk premium. Investors priced both the diplomatic freeze and persistent inflation/spending pressures simultaneously, dragging stocks and long-dated bonds lower in tandem.
