UK 30-Year Yield Hits 5.86% as Global Selloff Threatens Treasury Futures
The global government-bond selloff broadened on May 15, pulling Britain deeper into the move as the UK 30-year yield jumped 20 basis points to 5.86%, its highest since 1998. The fresh rise added to pressure already visible in Japan and the US, while the wider surge in yields threatened disruption in the Treasury futures market, a key hedging tool for US government debt. Interest-rate futures also moved to imply more than a 50% chance of a Federal Reserve rate increase by January.
Earlier in the session, Japan's 30-year government bond yield rose above 4% for the first time on record, while the US 30-year Treasury yield briefly touched its highest level since July 2007. The latest leg extended a selloff that had already lifted the US 30-year yield to 5.056%, the 10-year to 4.512% and the two-year to 4.027%, its highest since June 2025. G-7 finance chiefs are set to discuss the move in government bonds, with at least one member viewing it as temporary.
