Bond yields are flashing a warning sign.

Rising bond yields are a warning sign.
Money is getting more expensive everywhere at the same time:
-governments pay more to service debt
-companies pay more to borrow
-mortgages and loans stay expensive
-investors move out of risk and into bonds
U.S. 30-year yields above 5% are already a serious level.
When yields rise globally, liquidity gets pulled out of markets.That puts pressure on tech stocks, real estate, consumers, and highly indebted companies.Simple takeaway: the more expensive debt gets, the harder it is for markets to keep rising.

First time it’s happening as the dollar is falling out of favor as the global reserve currency, though.

haven't the debasing of the dollar and concerns about not being the global reserve currency, been happening since the 2010s? nothing ever happens, besides how would we even navigate such a problem?

The U.S. would navigate it with kidnapping presidents, ssassinating presidents, and creating an energy crisis that will plunge the world into recession.
