Global bond markets came under heavy pressure Tuesday as escalating Middle East tensions pushed oil prices higher and intensified concerns about inflation and interest rates, according to CNN.
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.79%, its highest level since January 2025, while the 30-year yield reached 5.27%. Higher yields can increase borrowing costs for mortgages, vehicles and businesses.
Brent crude rose above $92 a barrel, raising concerns that prolonged energy price increases could keep inflation elevated and limit central banks’ ability to cut rates. Investors are also watching growing government debt and deficits.
CNN reported that the bond sell-off weighed on stocks, with the S&P 500 down 0.6% and Nasdaq falling 1% Tuesday morning.
