美国房屋销售降至12年低点，原因是抵押贷款利率超过7%，受全球借贷成本飙升推动。能源价格上涨和通胀预期持续偏高导致债务成本达到近期纪录，美国国债收益率触及24年高点，欧洲债务升至数十年未见的水平。
US home sales plunged to a 12-year low after mortgage rates topped 7%, driven by soaring global borrowing costs. Increasing energy prices and higher-for-longer inflation expectations have sent debt costs to recent records, with US bond yields touching a 24-year high and European debt climbing to levels not seen in decades.
借贷成本上升也影响着较贫穷的国家：联合国警告称，若干国家正面临可能使数百万人陷入贫困的“流动性危机”，发展中国家目前平均将政府收入的9.5%用于利息支付，这是四分之一世纪以来的最高比例。“全球经济可能很快将面临韧性的极限考验，”国际货币基金组织首席经济学家表示。
Higher borrowing costs are impacting poorer nations, as well: The UN warned several countries were facing a “liquidity crisis” that could push millions into poverty, with developing countries now on average spending 9.5% of government revenues on interest payments, the highest share in a quarter century. “The global economy could soon test the limits of resilience,” the IMF’s chief economist said.
