The world is inside a debt crisis, and rising interest rates turn manageable borrowing into a ticking global time bomb

The world is drowning in debt and nobody is sounding the alarm. Over $300 trillion owed globally, more than three times what the planet produces in a year. The U.S. alone carries $38 trillion, Europe’s biggest economies are maxed out, and developing nations are borrowing faster than they have in fifty years. Rates go up and suddenly paying interest isn’t just annoying, it eats into every budget, forces more borrowing, and leaves governments scrambling. This is already a crisis and if you’re sitting on cash, you’re in a position to act while the rest stumble.

Yields climbing across the board. Seems like someone forgot to pay the electricity bill for the bond market.
