The global bond selloff intensified as US 10-year Treasury yields reached their highest levels since 2002. The Wall Street Journal reported that investors are demanding higher yields on long-dated debt in response to persistent inflationary pressures.
Supply chain disruptions in fuel transformation are keeping energy prices high, which continues to fuel the bond rout. This environment persists alongside mixed economic signals, such as US Durable Goods Orders which rose by 0.3% on September 25, 2026, as inflationary expectations remain elevated due to energy costs.
