US Treasury yields have jumped to a 15-week high as US default risk increases. Janet Yellen from the US Fed has said in a statement that the US will default if the debt ceiling is not raised by Congress.

The US Fed has talked about soon tapering its pandemic-era stimulus and that it will hedge inflation with monetary policies if high rates of inflation are sustained in the long term.
