一句话看懂
The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield hit 5.32%, highest since 2007. Borrowing costs for governments and consumers are rising globally.
背景
A global bond sell-off has pushed long-term government borrowing costs to multi-year highs. Investors are selling bonds due to persistent inflation, uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's ability to control prices, and a large supply of government and corporate debt. The sell-off is also driven by rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran war, which have fanned inflation worries.

各方怎么说
- Analysts
- Jonathan Cohn of Nomura said the sheer amount of duration supply forced onto the market, notably at the long-end, should be a concern for Treasuries.
- Caution
- Investors fear persistent inflation and rising government deficits, demanding more compensation for holding long-term bonds.
