Why you should care about US bond yields

Why you should care about US bond yields

Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description

The yield on thirty-year US Treasury bonds is the highest it’s been in nearly two decades. 

So why are investors demanding a higher return in exchange for lending money to the US government? And why should Australians pay attention?

And as Australian property prices fall, what can we learn from our commonwealth cousins - New Zealand and Canada - about the risks of a bursting property bubble?

We also answer another listener question - this time about bankrupt businessman Jon Adgemis. 

Carrington Clarke and ABC Chief Business Correspondent Ian Verrender break it all down on ABC Business Daily.
