US-Staatsanleihen: Rendite 30-jähriger US-Anleihen auf höchstem Stand seit 2002

Hohe Ölpreise, ungewisse Zinspolitik und eine Auktion verstärken den Druck auf die US-Staatsanleihen. Dabei reichen die Konsequenzen über den Häusermarkt bis nach Europa.

US-Staatsanleihen: Rendite 30-jähriger US-Anleihen auf höchstem Stand seit 2002

Düsseldorf - The yield on long-term US government bonds has hit a 24-year high, climbing six basis points to 5.70 percent for 30-year securities on Wednesday. This surge is primarily driven by rising oil prices, which heighten concerns about persistent inflation. The implications are felt across the US real estate market and extend to Europe. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US bond also rose by six basis points to 5.32 percent, a more moderate increase of one basis point for two-year securities.

The escalation in oil prices is attributed to heightened tensions in the Iran conflict. Brent crude, a North Sea blend delivered in December, surged more than 1 percent to 101.73 dollars per barrel, while US WTI crude climbed 0.5 percent to 89.86 dollars per barrel for November delivery. Elevated energy costs raise production and living expenses, increasing the risk of prolonged inflation. Consequently, investors demand a higher risk premium for holding long-term bonds.
