Triple Shock Hits Global Markets: US 30-Year Yield at 5.129%, Won at 1,508, Brent at $110 Global financial markets absorbed a simultaneous triple shock on May 19.

The UK 30-year gilt is at a 28-year high. Korea's own 10-year government bond yields 4.239%, a two-and-a-half-year peak. Bond markets across the developed world are selling off simultaneously.
