This episode of The Journal examines why US Treasury yields hit 20-year highs, driven by sticky inflation, rising oil prices from geopolitical tensions, and uncertainty under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Host Jessica Mendoza and markets reporter Jack Pitcher explain how these shifts increase borrowing costs for mortgages and business loans. They discuss the potential for a "higher for longer" interest rate environment and its broader economic implications.
