Bond Yields Surge Past Danger Zone as Iran War Fuels Crisis

US Treasury yields have significantly increased, with the 10-year note reaching 4.46% and the 30-year climbing to 4.986%, marking the largest bond selloff since April 2025. This surge is driven by market expectations of potential Federal Reserve rate hikes amidst the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which began in late February. The 10-year yield is approaching 4.5%, a level that previously led to a policy reversal by the Trump administration, who paused tariffs in response to market pressure. Analysts, including Max Crypto and Peter Schiff, are drawing parallels to this past event and predicting potential intervention. The 30-year yield's rise signals concerns about persistent inflation and government borrowing costs. Globally, Japan's 10-year government bond yield has also climbed to its highest since 1999, reflecting similar inflationary fears. These rising yields pose risks to crypto markets by increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like Bitcoin and potentially triggering unwinds of leveraged positions.
