Summary · why it matters

Global government bond yields have climbed to their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, with the Bloomberg Global Treasury Index reaching 3.68% as rising energy prices reignite inflation fears. Brent crude surged above $100 a barrel on Thursday amid renewed Middle East hostilities, intensifying pressure on debt markets ahead of key central bank decisions. UK gilt yields have closed above 5% for their longest streak in nearly two decades, Germany’s 10-year yield hit its highest since 2011, and the US 30-year yield is near its 2007 peak, while Japan’s 40-year yield rose 10 basis points to exceed 4%. Strong US data has shifted market expectations toward possible rate hikes, with traders pricing a roughly one-in-three chance of a Federal Reserve increase at the July meeting, and reduced forward guidance has pushed the ICE BofA MOVE Index to a two-month high. The selloff is seen as a broader risk for corporate financing, equity valuations, and indebted governments, with BlackRock’s iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF down nearly 5% over the past month and Moody’s warning of a new era of structurally higher inflation and rates.
