• US 10-year yields are considered 'excessively optimistic' at current levels, with expectations for them to rise above 4.50% due to nominal growth and persistent inflation.
• UK Gilt markets are also seen as overly optimistic, underestimating the Bank of England's need to raise rates further to combat persistent inflation.
