Treasury yields are rising all over the world. On Tuesday alone, the yield on the US 30-year Treasury rose by around 0.05 percentage points to 5.18 percent, the highest level since 2007.
Swedish government bond yields are also up by approximately 0.05 percentage points, but are at significantly lower levels than US yields and lower than most other countries' market yields.
The rise in interest rates has accelerated in recent weeks amid rising inflation concerns following the global energy crisis. Investors want better returns on their long-term fixed-income investments.
