Pimco Warns of Global Market Risk Due to Rising US Bond Yields
What happened
Pimco has analyzed global market risk beginning September 1, 2026, concerning rising yields on government bonds in developed countries. Specifically, yields on 10-year US government bonds crossed the 5% mark. This rise is occurring as the US government's debt burden is projected at 101% of its GDP, with projections showing it could reach 120% by 2036.

Why it matters
The increase in the US federal debt burden is prompting questions about the long-term viability of the current fiscal structure. This shift is being driven by persistent inflation risks, strong economic growth, and increased competition for capital globally. The higher risk premium demanded by investors is already being felt in emerging markets.
