US government borrowing costs hit the highest level since 2002

Government borrowing costs are rising sharply around the world, led by a sell-off in US government bonds. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury has climbed above 5.3%, its highest in more than two decades. Also, a US judge has cleared the way for Paramount’s $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. Manchester City’s main sponsor, Etihad Airways, is considering legal action against the Premier League. And in Japan, consumption of its national drink, Sake, has fallen to around a third of its 1970s peak, as tastes have shifted towards drinks including beer, wine and whisky.
