This sentiment was emboldened by the appointment of rate-cut advocate Stephen Miran to the Fed board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Short-term US Treasury yields fell last week in anticipation of cuts, while 30-year yields <\/strong><strong>rose<\/strong>, a move Capital Economics analysts called \u201can unusual response to a relatively uneventful data release.\u201d The analysts added that the market may be pricing in what would happen \u201cif Powell were actually removed or the White House took other steps to exert more control of monetary policy, in particular nominating a new Fed chair seen as a stooge for the president.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The tension between short-term and long-term rates in the US is mirrored globally. <\/strong>The yield gap between two-year and 30-year Treasuries is now the widest since early 2022, while in the UK, 30-year gilt yields hover near 5.6% \u2014 their highest in over 25 years. Even in fiscally conservative Germany, 30-year borrowing costs have crossed the 3% mark for the first time since 2011. Investors are watching whether central banks like the Bank of England will scale back bond sales next month amid concerns that quantitative tightening could further drive up borrowing costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The OECD expects sovereign borrowing by developed economies to hit USD 17 tn this <\/strong><strong>year<\/strong>, up from USD 16 tn in 2024 and USD 14 tn in 2023, according its <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/8\/1284.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Debt Report 2025 (pdf)<\/a>. That rising debt burden is clashing with efforts by central banks to normalize their balance sheets after years of quantitative easing. Economists warn that as debt-servicing costs rise, some governments could switch to issuing more short-term paper, increasing exposure to market swings and complicating monetary policy. \u201cThe volatility makes it harder to own the long end, and therefore harder to issue there,\u201d said Jupiter Asset Management fixed income head Matthew Morgan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed in early trading this morning <\/strong>as traders stand steady in anticipation of Powell\u2019s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
