High Treasury Yields and U.S. Fiscal Strains: Legal Imperatives and Market Reverberations
On May 22, 2025, U.S. equity markets and the dollar both retreated as High Treasury yields hovered near multi-year highs, reflecting deepening investor unease over America’s fiscal trajectory. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield remained stubbornly above 5 percent following a tepid $16 billion bond auction, while parallel moves in Japanese government bond markets signaled a global uptick in borrowing costs. Underlying these market disruptions is the specter of President Trump’s proposed tax-cut legislation, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates could add approximately $3.8 trillion to an already daunting $36 trillion national debt load, spurring fears of unsustainable fiscal imbalances and diminished confidence in U.S. sovereign credit. Moody’s recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating only amplified these concerns, prompting bond investors to demand higher yields as compensation for heightened perceived risk.
