"The US has paid the highest borrowing costs to sell 30-year bonds since 2001, as investors fret over the country’s mounting debt pile under Donald Trump’s administration as well as inflation that remains stubbornly high.
A $25bn Treasury auction of 30-year bonds on Thursday drew yields as high as 5.22 per cent, according to the US Treasury department. It marked the highest yield since the 5.52 per cent paid in August 2001, after which 30-year auctions were suspended for almost five years.
The yield on Thursday’s auction compares with 5.06 per cent at the previous 30-year sale in July, and 4.91 per cent just before Trump’s second term began in January 2025.
The jolt higher in borrowing costs comes as the US debt pile has swollen to almost $40tn, pushing the debt-to-GDP ratio towards an all-time high. Meanwhile, Trump’s war with Iran has sent prices for consumers and businesses sharply higher, raising the bar for investors to scoop up bonds that will provide consistent interest rates for the next three decades.
“All in all this is problematic for the Treasury. They have to fund the government at more expensive levels,” said Gennadiy Goldberg, head of US rates strategy at TD Securities.
The bond sale comes on the heels of a $42bn auction for 10-year notes on Wednesday, which were sold at the highest yield since 2007."
Van a tener que subir los tipos de interés, tanto el BCE como la FED: la gente está perdiendo poder adquisitivo por un tubo y ya no puede más.
Están disparándose las dimisiones en las empresas, de gente que cobra bien. Prefieren irse 5 años de vacaciones por ahí, a un país baratito.. que seguir currando. Para qué? Para que les paguen un sueldo devaluado?

Bessent no va a poder calmar a los tenedores de bonos, porque tiene menos poder que ellos. Y Trump también tiene menos poder que quienes manejan el dinero de verdad.
Los planes de Bessent y la Administración Trump son definidos por los operadores del mercado de bonos como "poner una tirita sobre un agujero de bala" = muerte asegurada
