Global government bond liquidity hits record low, market pressure intensifies
The Bloomberg Government Bond Liquidity Index soared to 6.5 points on Monday, reaching an all-time high, indicating that global bond market liquidity has dropped to a new low. The higher the index, the worse the liquidity.
Influenced by a surge in government spending in the United States and Japan, the index has doubled in the past few months, with liquidity conditions even worse than during the 2008 financial crisis.
As a result of this shock, long-term government bonds have been sold off, with the yield on Japan's 30-year government bonds reaching 3.15%, the second-highest level since its issuance in 1999; the yield on the U.S. 30-year government bonds has also approached 5.00% for the first time since May.
