Bond markets worldwide are experiencing a sharp selloff driven by inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions, notably the ongoing Iran conflict. This has pushed U.S. Treasury yields to their highest levels in years, with the 10-year yield reaching 4.63% and the 30-year yield hitting highs not seen since 2007. The Federal Reserve is now seen as likely to raise interest rates by the end of the year to counter inflation pressures. Meanwhile, G7 finance ministers and central bankers meet amid rising borrowing costs, highlighting worries about public debt and fiscal stability.
