Japan’s 10-year bond yield just hit 3%, its highest since 1996, sparking a global surge in borrowing costs as markets brace for tighter central bank policies. From Britain to the U.S., yields are climbing — fueled by inflation fears and rising oil prices — while governments grapple with record debt levels, including the U.S.’s $40 trillion public debt, which eats into spending on defense and social programs. Meanwhile, tech giants like Google and Meta are adding to the pressure, issuing $220 billion in new debt this year to fund AI and data center expansion. While the Treasury and central banks try stabilizing markets through bond-buying, experts warn that lasting relief requires either deeper fiscal discipline or stronger economic growth — or else “bond vigilantes” will keep demanding higher returns, forcing nations into even tougher financial choices.
