We see it all around.
Bonds are crashing, the yield is the highest in 16 years, and we have a unique scenario.
What does it actually mean?
First the impact on the government:
Rising yields mean the government faces higher borrowing costs when issuing new debt.
This could strain public finances, especially if the government needs to roll over significant amounts of maturing debt at these elevated rates.
Significant stakeholders in the U.S. bond market, such as banks and pension funds, are faced with the potential losses on their bond portfolios.
For banks, this can impact their capital ratios and overall financial health (SVB).
Pension funds, on the other hand, may grapple with funding gaps, resulting in an inability to pay the pensions.
Extreme scenario - If these institutions encounter severe distress, the government might need to step in, orchestrating bailouts or other interventions to maintain financial stability.
In a worst-case scenario, an unchecked slide in the bond market could snowball into a broader liquidity crisis, challenging the government's ability to ensure smooth financial market operations.
What does it mean for investors?
Bond Prices & Yields - Bonds and their yields share an inverse relationship. When bond prices rise, yields fall, and vice versa. As investors sell off bonds, their prices drop, leading to a rise in yields.
With bond yields skyrocketing, those investing now stand to lock in these high yields.
Risk - If interest rates continue their upward trajectory, the bond's market price might further plummet. While holding the bond till maturity guarantees the return of the principal amount, an early sale could result in losses.
Stocks & Crypto - The considerable yield opportunity on the low-risk bond market might attract more investors, which would result in the liquidity flowing from riskier assets, such as stocks and crypto, into bonds, lowering the prices of the risky assets.
