The financial system faced turmoil this week as U.S. government bond yields surged, leading to concerns over the role of the United States in global finance amidst President Trump's trade war. The 10-year Treasury yield, a key interest rate affecting corporate and consumer borrowing, rose significantly from below 4 percent to around 4.5 percent. This sharp increase in yields indicates investor apprehension towards U.S. assets, traditionally viewed as stable, suggesting a troubling shift in market sentiment caused by the ongoing tariff disputes.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose roughly 0.1 percentage points on Friday, marking significant volatility fueled by concerns over President Trump's escalating tariff policies.
Treasuries, traditionally seen as safe assets, have demonstrated erratic behavior this week, signaling potential concerns among investors regarding U.S. economic stability amidst trade tensions.
