Global Bond Selloff Pushes Yields to Multi-Year Highs Amid Inflation Concerns

A sweeping retreat from government debt markets worldwide has driven borrowing costs to their highest levels in years. Investors are bracing for persistent inflation as the selloff extends from US Treasuries to Japanese government bonds, reflecting mounting expectations that central banks will maintain elevated interest rates longer than previously anticipated. Large block sales in Treasury futures have accelerated the decline in bond prices, with the 10-year US Treasury yield reaching levels unseen in nearly two decades. The rout has rattled financial markets globally, with major bank executives warning that rates could climb substantially higher. Indian debt fund managers are meanwhile deploying swap rate strategies to enhance returns amid the turbulent environment. The bond market volatility underscores intensifying concerns about inflation's staying power and its implications for monetary policy across developed and emerging economies.
