US 10-Year Treasury yields have surged to levels not seen since 2002, triggering a sell-off across global bond markets. European sovereigns are particularly vulnerable, with Italian 10-Year yields spiking to 4.72% and French CDS widening, as investors demand higher premiums for Eurozone debt. S&P Global notes that while the ECB may eventually cut rates by 2028, the immediate pressure from US yields is forcing a repricing of global risk assets, weighing heavily on growth-sensitive sectors.
