Long-dated U.S. Treasury yields are holding stubbornly near their highest levels in decades, sending ripples of concern through financial markets. Investors are grappling with a potent cocktail of fiscal uncertainties, persistent inflation worries, and growing questions about the long-term sustainability of national debt.
