Why the bond market is flexing its muscles, and why everyone needs to care

The article explains how the bond market, particularly U.S. Treasurys, is influencing economic conditions by pushing up interest rates. Rising bond yields have led to increased borrowing costs, affecting mortgages, car loans, and savings returns.

The piece highlights growing competition from higher-yielding bonds in countries like Japan, the UK, and Germany, making U.S. bonds less dominant. This shift impacts everyday financial decisions, as mortgage rates closely track the 10-year Treasury yield, which has risen amid inflation fears and geopolitical tensions.
