US and Germany bond yields at 19 and 17-year highs

RTP Notícias15 September 2026 at 13:10

Yields on 10-year US and German bonds are trading at highs not seen in a long time. US interest rates reached levels not seen since 2007, while German rates hit values not recorded since 2009. This represents a period of 19 years for the US and 17 years for Germany, respectively. The article does not specify the actual values of the interest rates or the reasons for this rise, but indicates that this situation is occurring on the day the news was published.

Why this matters

Sovereign bond yields directly influence the cost of borrowing for businesses and families, from mortgages to consumer credit. This increase occurs in a context of uncertainty about the future decisions of central banks, which may affect investment and financing decisions in the real economy. Investors closely follow these indicators to anticipate economic trends and adjust their portfolios.
