Tax and fiscal deficit issues are plaguing the US debt, which is expected to incur monthly losses for the first time this year.

According to the MyStocks Financial APP, US Treasury bonds are expected to suffer their first monthly loss of the year, due to increased uncertainty around tariff policies and growing concerns about the rising level of US government debt. A Bloomberg index tracking bonds dropped by over 1.2% in May, as all maturing bonds were affected by the pressure. The yield on 30-year US Treasury bonds has risen for the third consecutive month, marking the longest period of decline since 2023, while the yields on 2-year and 10-year Treasury bonds saw their first monthly increase of the year.
