Bond market faces significant losses with highest yields since 2008

Global bond markets experienced sharp losses, with yields rising to their highest levels since 2008. The yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury bond reached 4.78%, while the yield on Japanese ten-year bonds hit 3% for the first time since 1996. The rise in oil prices, which exceeded $91 per barrel, fueled inflation fears, prompting investors to sell bonds and pushing yields higher. This occurred amid escalating geopolitical tensions, such as increased fighting between Russia and Ukraine and warnings from the U.S. President of potential strikes on Iran. Additionally, rising gas and oil prices added pressure on markets and energy costs. Markets are also awaiting continued increases in global interest rates, with prospects of hikes in the United States and Europe, reflecting tightening monetary policies and generally impacting stocks and financial markets.
