Claim 1: “German 10-year yields hit a 15-year high”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly supported by a web search result from marketinsiders.in stating that the 10-year German yield hit a 15-year high of 3.290% on August 31, 2026. A second source mentions a 17-year high touched in late September, which corroborates the general trend of yields hitting multi-decade highs.
