Global Bond Selloff Deepens as 10-Year US Treasury Yield Hits 24-Year High
Global bond markets faced renewed pressure as benchmark government yields surged to multi-year highs. The 10-year US Treasury yield climbed as high as 5.34 percent, marking its highest level since 2002. Wall Street closed barely higher as late bargain hunting offset the selloff. Meanwhile, international markets absorbed heavy losses; Indian indices declined for a second consecutive day, and the Nikkei fell amid foreign fund outflows and high oil prices. Equities remained somewhat resilient in select areas, supported by strong results from Micron that reinforced artificial intelligence spending confidence.
Why it matters
The deepening selloff reflects persistent worries over hot economic conditions and inflation pressures, compounded by spiking crude oil prices. Government bonds have suffered historic stretches, enduring their worst quarter since 1994. These rising yields ripple across global currency and equity markets, triggering foreign portfolio investor outflows and pressuring currencies like the Indian rupee.
What is confirmed
- The 10-year US Treasury yield climbed as high as 5.34 percent, its highest level since 2002.
- U.S. stocks closed barely higher as late bargain hunting offset the global bond selloff.
- Indian markets fell for a second consecutive day amid high oil prices and foreign fund outflows.
- Micron's stronger-than-expected results helped keep AI stocks resilient despite the broader bond market rout.
What to watch next
- Upcoming US jobs data releases and their impact on inflation expectations and Federal Reserve policy.
- Continued foreign portfolio investor outflow trends and crude oil price movements affecting emerging market currencies like the Indian rupee.
