According to BlockBeats, 30-year U.S. Treasury yields rose to approximately 5.14% on May 19, approaching their highest level since 2007. The surge has split global bond investors, with some institutions citing attractive valuations while others fear further upside pressure from inflation, fiscal deficits, and geopolitical tensions.
