Higher US yields strengthen dollar dominance, attracting global capital to US assets and away from developing economies. This reinforces US financial hegemony while weakening emerging market currencies and increasing debt servicing costs for dollar-denominated obligations globally.
Similar to the 1980s Volcker shock when aggressive US rate hikes triggered emerging market debt crises and geopolitical instability in developing nations dependent on cheap capital.
