South Korean government bond yields surged Tuesday, with benchmark three-year and 10-year yields climbing to their highest levels in about 30 months as renewed tensions between the United States and Iran fueled concerns over rising oil prices and inflation.
In Seoul’s bond market, the yield on three-year Treasury bonds rose 7.6 basis points to 3.674 percent, marking its highest closing level this year and the strongest since Nov. 27, 2023, when it stood at 3.68 percent.
The yield on 10-year government bonds jumped 10.6 basis points to 4.056 percent, surpassing the 4 percent threshold for the first time since Nov. 13, 2023.
Yields on five-year and two-year Treasury bonds also climbed, rising 9.3 basis points and 6.2 basis points, respectively, to 3.870 percent and 3.547 percent.
Longer-term bond yields posted even steeper gains. The 20-year Treasury yield advanced 12.1 basis points to 4.060 percent, while yields on 30-year and 50-year bonds rose 12.1 basis points and 11.8 basis points, respectively, to 3.971 percent and 3.821 percent.
