Global bond markets tumble on inflation fearsBond Market Turmoil Amid Rising Inflation ConcernsBy Dhara RanasingheLONDON, March 6 (Reuters) - Global government bond markets were headed for one of their worst weekly losses in months, on concerns that war in the Middle East will renew upward pressure on inflation and force more hawkish pivots from central banks. But that's going to hit headline inflation hard," said Thomas Urano, co-chief investment officer at Sage Advisory in Austin. Britain's two-year bond, or gilt yield, has risen 35 basis points (bps) this week to the highest level since October. The moves have been global: Australia and Canada have both seen their borrowing costs rise around 20 bps this week. Corporate Bond Market ImpactThe selling has also spilled over into corporate bond markets.
