Debt markets on edge: US, Japanese yields hit multi-year highs
Global bond yields climbed to multi-year highs, with Japan's 10-year yield hitting a 30-year peak. Asian shares were mixed as investors weighed West Asia tensions, rising inflation and possible US-China trade talks. The dollar stayed firm, and Brent crude eased to $102.27 a barrel. For Indian businesses, this often means costlier overseas loans and pressure on the rupee.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Japan's 10-year government bond yield climbed 10 basis points to 3.075 per cent, a level not seen since August 1996.
- The US 10-year Treasury yield rose 1.1 basis points to 5.125 per cent, after reaching its highest since 2007 overnight.
- Brent crude slid 0.79 per cent to $102.27 a barrel as traders paused to reassess supply risks tied to the Iran conflict.
