U.S. debt is the ‘elephant in the room’ amid bond market rout as Fed-fueled interest costs could drive even larger deficits, analysts warn

They note that rising interest costs on the national debt could lead to substantially larger deficits over the next decade. This situation is exacerbated by the bond vigilantes, who are protesting large deficits by selling bonds and driving up yields, with long-term yields reaching levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis.
