Trump to nominate CEA Chair Miran for Fed governor role
Investing.com -- Germany’s 30-year bond yields are heading toward their highest levels since 2011 as investors demand higher returns to finance the government’s expanded borrowing plans.
The yield on 30-year German debt increased three basis points to 3.23% on Thursday, approaching levels not seen since Europe’s debt crisis. This recent surge follows an announcement from Germany’s finance agency that it plans to borrow approximately 20% more than initially projected in the coming months to fund increased government spending.
The underperformance of long-term bonds has been a global trend in 2025, though the recent moves in German debt have been less severe than some of the sharp selloffs witnessed earlier this year.
While Germany has shifted toward increased borrowing, other major economies like Japan and the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) have emphasized fiscal discipline to avoid higher borrowing costs. Meanwhile, the United States continues to expand its already substantial deficit.
