The tally, one vote per house
89 of 121 research houses flag it as a material risk, +14 houses in 30 days. See which houses, free →
Long-dated government bond yields are seen as staying high as a rising term premium reflects heavy government issuance, fiscal strain and weaker foreign demand for Treasuries. Researchers argue this keeps the 10-year and 30-year yields elevated, adding pressure on bond holders, mortgage and corporate borrowing costs and equity valuations. Of the 121 houses covering the theme, 89 hold this view, 20 are against and 12 are mixed, with 13 more houses added over the past 30 days; one house argues a relief rally could follow a calmer UK budget, which would ease some of the pressure.
Each house counts once: its newest view on the theme in the last 60 days. The counts are computed, not written by AI; the summary is AI-written from the houses’ views, without names.
