What's Up With the U.S. Bond Market?
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent spike in the yield of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds and the implications of government debt surpassing $40 trillion.
The yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds has been spiking lately, at one point reaching its highest level in some two decades. That means that the government is paying more to borrow—as government debt officially passed the $40 trillion mark this week. Adam and Cameron discuss.
