10-Year Yield: 6.84%

We are continuing our list of countries with the highest 10-year bond yields today – for the first half of the year, Mexico’s 10-year bond yield was well above 7%, but slid below this mark in June. In the first half of August, Mexico hit an inflation rate of 6.59%, the highest in the first half of any month since June 2001. The Bank of Mexico has been consistently increasing interest rates, but in August left them unchanged at 7%. Inflation is expected to remain above 6% in the following months, but the central bank expects that it has reached its peak and will return to the target 3% by the end of 2018.
