Summary · why it matters

A global bond selloff that pushed yields to two-decade highs has made government debt the main concern on Wall Street, overshadowing the AI boom. Yields surged in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and Japan as investors lost patience with persistent deficits and heavy government borrowing. The Treasury Department announced increased buybacks of long-dated bonds, but yields resumed their climb as investors doubted the move would stem the tide. Economists including RSM's Joseph Brusuelas and Capital Economics analysts said markets are now demanding higher term premiums for fiscal, geopolitical, and policy uncertainty, and warned that continued populist spending and tax cuts could eventually trigger banking or currency crises.
