Nicholas Brooks warned that governments failing to control their finances could drive longer-term government-bond yields higher, creating a potentially self-reinforcing debt-service cycle and rising volatility. 1 Jack Farley highlighted that US Treasury bonds have sold off during some periods of stress rather than providing their usual risk-off protection. 1 Grant Williams argued that debt affordability concerns expose what government bonds are ultimately backed by, while Japan’s higher JGB yields could disrupt global capital flows. 2 Ray Dalio’s hosted explainer described central-bank purchases of government bonds as financing that allows states to operate during deficits, while warning that debt reduction requires balancing inflationary and deflationary forces. 3
