White papersRisk assets face off with rising global bond yields
The recent interest rate turmoil has driven long‑dated government bond yields to notable historical extremes, with U.S. 30-year yields hitting their highest level since 2007, 30-year JGBs since their introduction in 1999, UK gilts since 1997, and German bunds since 2011.

White papersPrincipal Well-Being Index: Optimism among businesses in short supply

Helping buffer these concerns, however, are relatively resilient underlying fundamentals, which should reduce the risk that these anxieties translate into broader economic weakness.
