UK Bond Crash Shocks Markets — U.S. Treasuries On the Brink
The UK’s bond market has collapsed, with yields surging to a 27-year high of 5.7%. Debt-to-GDP is at 100%, and interest payments are eating nearly 4% of the economy — four times Britain’s growth rate in 2024. Investors are fleeing, the pound is crashing, and IMF bailout whispers are getting louder.
