Global Bond Selloff Deepens As US 30-Year Yield Hits 2004 High
The global bond market selloff is intensifying as the United States 30-year Treasury yield climbs to 5.48 percent, marking its highest level since 2004. Investors are rapidly expanding rate hike bets following a recent 19-year high for the 10-year Treasury yield, while surging oil prices reaching 105 dollars per barrel add further pressure. Consequently, stock futures are falling with technology shares taking a heavy weight. Bond markets remain on edge globally, reflecting heightened investor anxiety over inflation and broader economic growth concerns.
Why it matters

Oil prices hitting 105 dollars per barrel compound inflationary pressures, directly threatening broader economic stability. Equity markets are responding predictably to the fixed-income rout, with futures drifting lower as higher yields compete directly with stocks for capital.
