The bond market experienced a significant sell-off this week, with yields spiking to their highest levels in about two decades. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.12%, the highest since 2007, while the 30-year yield hit 5.42%, a level not seen since 2004. The surge was driven by fears about a hot economy, a spiraling fiscal situation, and waning demand for US debt. Economist Mohamed El-Erian noted that many market participants were surprised by the rapid rise in yields.
