Global bond yields are back to the level of 2008.🚨

Only now there’s a lot more debt sitting on top of which that interest has to be paid.

The global index of sovereign bonds hit the highest yield since 2008, rising from below 0.5% in 2020 to around 3.7% now.

The level is the same as 18 years ago, but the stock of debt and the size of the deficits are not even close.

This isn’t ā€œinflation expectations.ā€ Just look at breakevens.

Anyone who says ā€œit’s all fineā€ with public government debt really doesn’t understand math. The fiscal burden today is highly relevant.

This is a broad confidence crisis, in the planet’s largest economies.

Owning scarce assets isn’t a matter of ā€œdiversificationā€ here.

It’s a matter of survival. Are you paying attention?
