According to Odaily, BiStrategy CEO Phong Le stated that he holds a 30-year mortgage with an interest rate of 1.75%. Instead of paying off this mortgage, he invested 250,000 US dollars in STRC, which pays him a yield of 11.5%, equivalent to 10 times his mortgage rate.

Strategists from Natixis pointed out that, due to the relatively greater resilience of the US economy, combined with a structurally loose financial environment and increased market tolerance for higher long-term yields, the US 10-year Treasury yield faces significantly greater medium-term upward pressure compared to similar eurozone bonds.In contrast, eurozone economic growth is “more susceptible” to shocks from rising energy prices, which will largely limit the European Central Bank’s scope for future rate hikes, making it difficult to reach the extent currently anticipated by the market.According to institutional data, Germany’s 10-year government bond yield fell by more than 9 basis points on Tuesday, hitting a six-week low of 2.941%, reflecting the growing risk-averse sentiment toward the eurozone’s economic outlook.From a trading psychology perspective, the market’s pricing logic of the US economy “maintaining high interest rates for a longer period” continues to strengthen, while skepticism over eurozone growth resilience is driving capital to rotate from euro-denominated bonds to safe-haven assets. This divergence in fundamental expectations is further driving the transatlantic bond market’s yield performance apart.
