Bond yields are surging to multi-decade highs across every major economy and Peter Schiff argues this is the beginning of the sovereign debt crisis he’s been warning about for years. The US 30-year Treasury hit 5.19% — a 19-year high — while Japan’s 30-year bond reached 4% for the first time ever, a level that would consume 50% of all Japanese tax revenue just to service the interest. Germany’s 10-year bund broke its multi-decade downtrend. With US debt at $39 trillion versus $9 trillion the last time yields were this high, the math is catastrophic.
The other major story: Thomas Massie lost his Republican primary after Donald Trump waged an all-out campaign to remove him. Schiff calls it the death of fiscal conservatism in the Republican Party. Massie was the only congressman who voted against every deficit-expanding bill, opposed the tariffs as tax hikes, and tried to force transparency on the Epstein files. Trump called him the worst congressman in history — but Schiff argues he was the only one trying to prevent the crisis that is now unfolding in bond markets worldwide. With Massie gone, Schiff says no Republican will dare oppose reckless spending again, which is itself a signal to bond markets that the US will never voluntarily address its fiscal crisis.
