Skepticism remains over strong growth driving yields, Heather Long notes
Bond yields rise in U.S. and France

Heather Long raises questions about the factors pushing bond yields higher in the U.S., France, and other countries.

She expresses skepticism that strong economic growth is the main reason for the recent increase, suggesting other elements may be contributing to the rise.

Long previously reported that U.S. wage gains have been offset by inflation, forcing many households to scale back spending. She also noted that consumer spending has returned as the main driver of U.S. economic growth after a brief period of increased AI investment. These factors provide context for her current doubts about growth being the sole driver behind rising bond yields.
