Zhongtai Securities says US Treasury yields across the curve are at fresh highs, with the 30‑year yield above 2008 crisis levels, raising US sovereign‑risk considerations. The note adds that perceived erosion of the Fed’s credibility and independence is enhancing commodities’ financial characteristics.
