In the US, 30-year Treasury bond yields continue to rise amid concerns that inflation may accelerate again. Bond yields have reached their highest level since July 2007, exceeding 5.19%. The 10-year Treasury bond yield, an important indicator for mortgages, auto loans, and credit card debts, rose to 4.66%. The 2-year bond yield increased to 4.12%, depending on short-term Fed rate expectations. Data released last week showed that regional tensions with Iran have caused oil prices to rise, putting pressure on inflation and leading to sales in fixed income investment instruments. These developments have increased investors' expectations that the Fed may prefer rate hikes rather than cuts. An official from Morgan Stanley Wealth Management stated that while there was widespread expectation of rate cuts at the beginning of the year, rate hikes are now on the agenda. High interest rates can negatively affect consumer spending and long-term economic growth. Additionally, they may increase the risk of declines in stock valuations. According to a Bank of America survey, 62% of global fund managers expect 30-year bond yields to rise to around 6%. Long-term government bond yields are also rising in Europe, with similar trends observed in Germany and the UK. In Japan, the 30-year bond yield has reached a record high.
