In global markets, the surge of US 10-year Treasury yields to around 5.3% and the rising borrowing costs and bond spreads in France and Italy are causing anxiety.

Developments in Global Bond Markets

In global markets, investors are unnerved as US 10-year Treasury yields break records to reach the 5.3% level. For Turkey, which borrows externally while domestic interest rates are already high, this dual interest rate squeeze is becoming challenging.

Risks Rising in France and Italy

Experts point out that alarm bells are ringing from Europe, particularly from France and Italy, and data confirms these warnings. The France-Germany 10-year bond spread has reached its highest level since 2012.

Increase in Bond Yield Differentials

The France-Germany 10-year government bond yield differential has risen to the 145-152 basis point range, hitting its highest level since the 2011-2012 Eurozone debt crisis.

Interest Rates and Market Reactions

While France's 10-year bond yield has climbed above the psychological threshold of 5.00%, Germany's 10-year bond yield, considered a safe haven, hovers around 3.60%.

Expert Evaluations and Political Developments

Yapı Kredi Invest Chief Strategist Murat Berk stated that high borrowing costs are affecting bond markets, causing credit spreads to widen and France's CDS premiums to rise.

France's budget presentation and political developments are being closely monitored by the market.
