The return on US five -year bonds increased today, Friday, to more than 4. 5% for the first time since 2007, in light of the expectations of the US Central Reserve Council (the Central Bank) in increasing the main interest rates to control inflation that reached its highest levels in more than 40 years .
The return on American 30-year bonds jumped by 14 basis points earlier in the day to 4. 36%, which is the highest level since 2011.
The return on bonds with shorter deadlines increased as business increased, while the return on long-term bonds remained high.
The Wall Street Journal reported that some American Federal Reserve (the Central Bank) officials were concerned about the exaggeration of tightening monetary policy following the increase in interest rates by three percentage points since last March, when added to the anticipated increase in interest rates by 75 basis points during the reserve meeting next month. This, according to the Bloomberg News Agency, was the cause of the decline in the return on shorter bonds.
