Treasury yields surged as inflation angst triggered a global bond sell-off, sending benchmark rates higher across developed markets.

Rising inflation expectations sent U.S. Treasury yields higher on Tuesday, leading a sell-off in sovereign bonds worldwide. The move pushed benchmark yields in Germany and the U.K. to multi-week highs as investors repriced the risk of persistent price pressures. The bond rout underscores growing anxiety that central banks may need to keep rates elevated longer, upending dovish bets that had supported fixed-income markets earlier in the month.
