US 10-year debt yields at 2007 highs. Eurozone "Yields" also worsen

Jornal de Negócios15 September 2026 at 08:46

US 10-year public debt yields have reached their highest levels since 2007, at a time when a new wave of massive sovereign bond selling is being recorded in the markets.

This "sell-off" wave is pressuring not only American bonds but also the debt securities of Eurozone countries, whose worsening interest rate yields have been intensifying.

Investors are moving away from sovereign debt assets, which has caused a general rise in yields, reflecting concerns about the sustainability of public finances and the impact of monetary policies in both regions.

Why this matters

The worsening of sovereign debt yields directly affects the financing costs of governments and, consequently, may have implications for bond investors and general economic conditions. Readers with investments in debt securities or pension funds may see their returns affected by this rise in "yields". This situation arises following tensions in sovereign debt markets and reflects growing concerns about fiscal sustainability.

Even if the minimum wage in the State rose to 1,030 euros in 2027 it would be "short", says Fesap

The Federation of Public Administration Trade Unions (Fesap) argues that the remuneration base in the public sector should increase beyond 1,030 euros in 2027, considering that this value would still be "short" given workers' needs. General secretary José Abraão argues that the pluriannual agreement in force, which provides for increases of 2.3% (rising from 934.99 to 995.51 euros), was signed in a different economic context and that inflation, potentially above 3%, is causing losses in purchasing power. Fesap will present its claims document for the 2027 State Budget at today's press conference in Lisbon, demanding increases beyond those provided for in the current agreement.
