Global bond yields surge to multi-decade highs amid inflation fears

Global bond markets are experiencing a significant sell-off, driving borrowing costs to multi-decade highs. In the United States, the 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.34%, its highest level since 2002. Similarly, the yield on UK 30-year bonds climbed above 6% for the first time since 1998.

Several factors are fueling this volatility. Rising energy prices, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, are stoking inflation fears. Additionally, investors are reacting to strong economic data and increased capital competition from artificial intelligence and data center investments. These conditions have led to expectations that central banks, including the Federal Reserve, may maintain a hawkish stance or implement further interest rate hikes to combat persistent inflation.

The bond market rout has also impacted equity markets, with the FTSE 100 in London falling 1.7%, its largest daily decline since May. Other European indices, such as Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40, also saw notable losses.
