Summary/Abstract: Within the scope of this paper is to investigate the dynamic correlation and the volatility of 10-year sovereign bond yields in the G7 countries from January 4, 2010 to December 30, 2022. The following analyses were performed by dividing the said period into two sub-periods taking August 2, 2019 as a breaking point. Conclusions were made based on built VAR models. Conducted research indicates the USA as having the most significant influence on the rest of countries.
