 The US presidential election is fueling uncertainty in financial markets, sparking concerns about inflation and bond market volatility. Bond yields have been volatile since mid-September, driven by a mix of political uncertainty and economic factors. Economists warn that the bond market could push the 10-year Treasury yield above 5%, potentially signaling a return of "bond vigilantes" who drive up bond yields by rejecting government debt. Both presidential candidates' policies are raising concerns about inflation, with some analysts predicting higher interest rates if Trump wins.
