According to BlockBeats, Elmar Volker, a senior fixed income analyst at LBBW, reported that the rise in U.S. and UK bond yields may be partly attributed to hedge funds' liquidity needs following a significant drop in stock prices earlier this week. Volker explained that the sharp decline in stock market prices forced hedge funds to sell off assets, providing an additional explanation for the weakness observed in the bond markets of the United States and the United Kingdom.
