WHAT'S IMPORTANT NOW
SUMMER 2026
Week of August 23, 2026
The 30y and 10y bond yields spiked to levels not seen since the early 2000s due to worries about the mounting US national debt, which surpassed $40tn, and an abundance of new debt issuance from corporations financing AI infrastructure.
The US Treasury announced a buyback program as the 30-year bond yield reached 5.27%, which helped settle the market somewhat.
But without a clear resolution on how to balance the budget and reduce the debt, the markets continue to require a premium to finance US obligations. The largest annual US expense is Medicare/Medicaid, followed by Social Security, followed by the interest paid on the debt (at over $1tn/year), and then defense/war.
This increase in yields impacts the cost for consumers borrowing to purchase homes, automobiles, and education.

During all markets, but especially in volatile times, your business needs to ensure
it is being managed properly and conservatively to yield success today and for generations.
