Apollo’s Slok Says US Yields Set to Rise on Iran War, Tariffs

Torsten Slok, Chief Economist for Apollo Global Management, predicts that US yields will increase due to geopolitical tensions involving Iran and ongoing tariff disputes, rather than fiscal policy. This outlook suggests that global economic factors, rather than domestic fiscal conditions, are driving the upward pressure on yields, which could impact everything from mortgage rates to investment returns. Investors and policymakers should pay attention as these external pressures may have broader implications for the global economic landscape.
