A global bond selloff has driven US Treasury yields to their highest levels in nearly two decades, fueled by a combination of resilient US economic data and poor demand at recent debt auctions. This surge in borrowing costs is pressuring equity valuations, particularly in growth and technology sectors, while reinforcing the narrative that the Federal Reserve may need to maintain restrictive policy longer than markets anticipate. The weak auction demand is a critical signal of fiscal stress and investor fatigue with US debt supply.
