Global bond yields are hitting multiyear highs - including Japan, Germany, the UK, and the U.S. - as debt levels balloon and oil prices spike. Do you see a financial crisis coming?

Global bond yields are surging to multiyear highs across major economies, with Japan's 10-year yield near 30-year highs above 3%, Germany's 10-year yield at its highest since 2011, UK gilt yields at a post-2008 peak, and the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield near a two-decade high around 5.3%, as heavy government debt issuance and an oil-price shock from the U.S.-Iran conflict fuel fears that expensive borrowing is here to stay. Do you see a financial crisis coming? Vote and explain your reasoning in the comments.

Absolutely, especially if the US raises interest rates. High debt, a massive US deficit, and a loss of confidence... and credibility. If Trump doesn't change the rules of his game... expect the worst on a global level.

The U.S. HAS to raise now to prevent capital flight. Especially because of Japan. Also the rising Japanese bond yields have some scary implications for the yen carry trade.

I wouldn’t call it a crisis yet though. When they start lowering rates, that’s when we are in a crisis.
