借贷成本急剧上升促使专家们发出警告，称一场财政危机正在酝酿，尤其是在欧洲地区。法国目前处于这场危机的核心地带，昨日公布的预算方案未能缓解投资者对其借贷成本快速上升的担忧。
Soaring borrowing costs spurred experts to warn of a gathering fiscal crisis, particularly in Europe. France remains at the epicenter of the storm, after a proposed budget yesterday failed to quell investors’ anxiety over its fast-rising borrowing.
其他地区的情况同样令人担忧：英国30年期国债收益率升至6%，这是自2012年欧元区危机以来首次有G7成员国出现如此高的利率水平。与此同时，意大利和希腊等负债较重的国家的债券收益率较作为欧洲基准的德国国债也出现了显著上升。ING的经济学家指出：“欧洲债券市场正显现出危机蔓延的初步迹象。”一位投资组合经理对《华尔街日报》表示：“市场已隐约嗅到了危机即将爆发的气息。”——普拉尚特·拉奥
But worries are growing elsewhere: UK 30-year yields hit 6%, the first time a G7 member has faced such high interest rates since the 2012 eurozone crisis, while other indebted countries such as Italy and Greece saw bond yields widen sharply compared to those of the European benchmark, Germany. “European bond markets are showing the first signs of broader contagion,” ING economists said, while one portfolio manager told The Wall Street Journal, “markets have the faint smell of a crisis in the making.”— Prashant Rao
