Government borrowing costs across major advanced economies hit their highest levels in decades on Tuesday as concerns about US-Iran tensions and their inflationary impact drove up bond yields. Long-term interest rates on debt issued by the US, UK, Germany, France and Japan all rose sharply, with France's 10-year yield reaching a 17-year high and Germany's hitting its highest since 2011.
