[Siebert CIO: US Treasury Yields Above 5% Is Not a Problem Unique to the US; Global Sovereign Debt Is Being Repriced] (1) Mark Malek, Chief Investment Officer of Siebert Financial, stated in a report that the rise in the US 10-year Treasury yield to 5% is not due to any problems with the US economy, but rather is accompanied by a simultaneous increase in yields of other types of bonds globally. (2) He specifically pointed out that the yield on Japanese 10-year government bonds has broken through 3% for the first time in 30 years. He said, "Japan, a country that spent a generation showing the rest of the world what zero interest rates are, has now changed." (3) Malek believes that "when the long-term yields of all sovereign bonds in developed countries are simultaneously repricing in the same direction, the market is not making a judgment on any particular borrower." (4) He stated that the market has simply remembered something it had deliberately forgotten over the past fifteen years—lending ten-year funds to any entity is a risk, not a matter of course.
