Answers: Why are bond yields and government borrowing costs rising globally, and is it a sign of an impending financial collapse?

What it concludes

• Rising bond yields and government borrowing costs are a global phenomenon driven by inflation, trade friction, supply chain disruption, and aging populations.
• The surge in AI data center investments is being largely funded through off-balance sheet private credit vehicles and new borrowing, creating new financial pressure points.
• Central bank independence serves as a structural defense against managed adjustment and disorderly fiscal dominance.
• Current market conditions represent a painful, long-term repricing and debt adjustment rather than a systemic financial collapse.
