30-year US Treasury yield hits 19-year high
The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield jumped to 5.18%, its highest level since 2007. Rising inflation fears and concerns that the Iran war will sustain energy and price pressures pushed investors to sell long-term Treasuries. The move deepens a bond-market selloff and threatens to raise borrowing costs across the economy, including mortgage rates and long-term financing for businesses and the federal government. Higher long-term yields can slow housing demand and raise borrowing costs for consumers and companies, complicating affordability and economic growth.
The U.S. national debt approached $39 trillion as analysts warned about long-term inflation
hursty69.bsky.social41You know what Forbes didn't do explain how much of that 39 trillion is trumps policies
Poh’s thoughts14Trump bankrupting the US and running the largest debt ever, boy is he ever so dumb
Brian9And 10% of the entire national debt is due to tax cuts a handful of billionaires received from the so-called BBB. In return, they committed the greatest data theft of sll our personal confidential data, and committed an African genocide that has so far direct killed 600k.
jekmann.bsky.social9Once the petro dollar is gone, this is going to crash. Badly.
John Shea 🍀8US national debt has exploded every single time that a Russian Republican president has been in office, so for fucks sake stop calling them conservatives.
healinghands65.bsky.social4Spending on a war, nobody asked for and then drifting over $1 billion to pay off the thugs from January 6th ensures nothing will be done about the debt. How about we start spending tax dollars on things that actually give relief to consumers (like universal healthcare) rather than fuckface oligarchs
Stormursson4Every Repulican President increased the US debt but with Trump this is on overdrive. Of course, since he is no Republican President. He used the Republican Party as a vehicle to gain power. He is a Proto-Dictator and it shows
AlpenglowDreams3No worries trump will eliminate the national debt in just 10 years *checks calendar* Oh…wait…. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...
armitage70.bsky.social3Inflation in the US at 3.8% is a full percentage point above the rate in Canada and more than half a point above that is Spain. Good luck MAGA.
Golden state girl🌹3That number is honestly hard to even comprehend 😳 Definitely makes people worried about what the future could look like.
Bald disc golfing daddy3lemme save you da read.......we cant afford the rising interest costs.
SammyTheCat2Dump did that and he’s still doing it! 😡
Lee2I will think and I will pray for poor helpless Americans .
Nunya2Hey, bankruptcy is Trump business expertise. Don’t worry, he will walk away rich while bankrupting the country.
LNNL Band Official Account2Watching the American empire fall. It's like if Caligula did Ocean's Eleven.

Puppet30What year was it 19 years ago? Anything interesting happening to the economy about then?
Blue in Red Oklahoma26Markets are going to force the Fed to RAISE rates. So Trump’s new Fed Chair is going to be in trouble right off the bat.
Rí Caoimhín 🇮🇪17If this keeps up, anything short of a rate hike in three weeks will be viewed as Warsh bending the knee. Then the real trouble starts.
TRW16Breaking - the US economy
11thuniverse.bsky.social7Should be 30% market still thinks USA is okay while president is offloading money from government to his gang in billions
m-east52.bsky.social3And so it begins, The Golden Age.
onetwitpony.bsky.social2Hmmm, I’m just some middle America dumbass with no education in economics, but I’m pretty sure this means our gas and grocery prices aren’t coming down soon.
Mark2...the many-times-bankrupt art-of-the-dealer determined to prove wrong that you can't bankrupt a country...
Josh2Gonna make it harder for Warsh to lower interest rates.
Bond markets are melting down right now. The US 30-year Treasury yield just hit 5.18%. We have not seen borrowing costs this high in 20 years. At the same time, Japan's 30-year yield just hit 4.17%, the highest in its history. And Japan's 10-year broke above 2.80% for the first time, ever.
Andrew Lokenauth | TheFinanceNewsletter.com34Japan holds roughly $1.1 Trillion in US Treasuries. If Japan starts selling those bonds to stabilize its own market, US yields go even higher. Two of the world's largest bond markets. Both at historic extremes.
Cal M. 🐉7It’s like watching a worse and stupider version of The Big Short play out in real life
MP_PhD4In the lead up to this, top economists warned of the ripple effect that tariffs and redirected trade will have on the entire global economy. And this was before the war that is sending oil prices soaring throughout the world.
Liam McCarthy2If Trump hadn’t FAFO 10 year yields would probably be 3.66% now, not 4.66 and rising 5bp a day - entirely his fault we’re all paying higher credit card and mortgage rates. #bondvigilanties have been located at last
