What happened
The U.S. Treasury has been issuing IOUs to borrow money, which are sold to investors in the bond market. Bond yields have reportedly jumped to their highest levels in approximately two decades. This rise affects anyone who borrows money, including businesses seeking capital for projects like artificial intelligence data centers.

Why it matters
Higher yields mean that savers can earn more interest by investing in bonds or high-yield savings accounts. For U.S. taxpayers, the higher yields translate into increased interest payments for the federal government, which must borrow to cover the gap between spending and revenue.
