Analysts: The rise in yields in countries like the UK and France is not unrelated to the United States.

Jin10 Data September 3rd, the UK 30-year government bond yield has surged to its highest level since 1998, while the French 30-year government bond yield has reached its highest point in over 16 years. The German 10-year government bond yield has hit a new high in 14 years. Jim Barnes, head of fixed income at Bryn Mawr Trust, stated: “When I think of countries like the UK and France, I believe this merely highlights again the deficit, the unpaid debt, and the potential inflation impact from tariffs in the US - all of which are factors driving global yields to rise.”
