Business Brief: The rate hike that isn’t
Bond markets are experiencing volatility due to geopolitical tensions, inflation, and government borrowing. U.S. Treasury yields have reached their highest levels in decades, impacting global borrowing costs. Canadian bond yields are also affected, reflecting both domestic and international economic pressures.
- ▪Yields on longer-term U.S. government bonds spiked as investors reacted to the Iran war and elevated oil prices.
- ▪The 30-year Treasury yield rose to its highest level in 19 years, while Canadian government bond yields reached their highest levels in over 16 years.
- ▪Canadian bond yields fell after a consumer price index report showed inflation rose less than expected, but they are still influenced by global concerns over inflation and government borrowing.
