What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Jim Chalmers stated that rising bond yields and debt costs are increasing due to Middle East conflict risks. He noted that billions of dollars will be added to forecasts for government expenditure because rising bond yields compound the cost of servicing $1 trillion of Commonwealth debt. Chalmers also warned that these risks pose threats to global growth, pushing up global inflation and borrowing costs.
