Market Turmoil: Sharp Rise in Bond Yields and Signs of a Bubble on Wall Street

Financial markets around the world are experiencing high tension following concerning data pointing to inflationary pressures and signs of a bubble in the stock market. According to Coingraph | News, the yield on 30-year US government bonds jumped to 5.12%, the highest level recorded since the 2008 global financial crisis. At the same time, historical peaks were also recorded in Japan, as according to Forex & Crypto and Investing & Financial | Crypto, yields on 30-year government bonds reached new record highs.

Against the backdrop of rising yields, Money & Digital Assets reports that the market is repricing the probability of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve even before the end of 2026, as a result of a renewed acceleration in inflation.

In parallel to the monetary arena, warnings regarding the state of the US stock market are mounting. According to an analysis by Money & Digital Assets, Goldman Sachs indicators point to "extreme bullish sentiment," with risk levels not seen since the dot-com bubble. The channel notes that the momentum index has crossed the 3 threshold, which indicates risky positioning by investors.

The atmosphere in the markets was described as nothing less than a "casino" by billionaire investor Warren Buffett. At the annual Berkshire Hathaway conference held in early May, Buffett noted that the level of "gambling" among investors has reached an unprecedented peak, a fact that highlights the growing concerns among institutional entities regarding a sharp correction in the markets.
