And here I read the word correctly, yet thought it was going to be about bonds, and the rise of 50- and 100-year maturities. I am a singer btw

The site is called The Economist so I thought this was going to be about not having enough choices for tenor on loans and similar contracts.

Tensors are in no shortage nowadays. I did read this a tensors though and got a good laugh.

Given that it's the economist, it could have been about illiquidity in the bond markets.

I assumed it meant interest rate swap tenors. We need liquidity at the six year point!

The tenor of the conversation is different than you expected?

Might explain the strange weather.
