What happened
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated that the recent rise in US bond yields is a reflection of stronger economic growth rather than higher inflation expectations. Waller also noted that US government debt losing its status as a global safe-haven asset could add 50 to 70 basis points to yields. He added that investment in AI, including data center construction, is supporting economic demand for the next two to three years.

Why it matters
Waller emphasized that inflation expectations remain 'well anchored,' downplaying its role in the bond selloff. The commentary suggests that concerns over debt and AI-driven growth are the primary factors influencing the trajectory of US Treasury yields.
