Long-term government bond yields across major economies have surged to levels not seen in decades, with the US 10-year Treasury yield briefly reaching 5.2% and the UK 10-year gilt hitting a 30-year high of 5.38%. France’s 10-year government bond yield also climbed to approximately 4.68%, signaling a broad-based sell-off in sovereign debt markets. The rapid rise in yields has significantly increased government borrowing costs, raising concerns over escalating sovereign debt burdens. Market analysts now view this trend as a more pressing medium- to long-term threat to economic and household financial stability than current risks associated with artificial intelligence.
