Global Bond Yields Hit Financial Crisis Highs as US 30-Year Rate Tops 5% for 29 Days
Average government borrowing costs hit 3.7%, their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. The broad rise in yields drove the US 30-year Treasury above 5% for 29 consecutive trading days in 2026, extending the longest streak since 2007.
Yields climbed across developed markets, with the UK 10-year gilt staying above 5%, the German 10-year Bund trading near a 2011 peak, and Japan’s 30-year yield jumping to 3.98%, just 22 basis points from an all-time high. Higher borrowing costs increase financial pressure on governments and corporations, raising debt expenses for companies financing large-scale capital projects.
