10-Year Treasury Yield Hits 19-Year High as Inflation Concerns Fuel Rate-Hike Bets
Bond yields surge to 5.1% on strong economic data and expectations the Fed will continue tightening policy to combat persistent inflation.
What to know
- The 10-year Treasury yield surged to 5.1% and the 5-year yield broke above 5% — both highest levels in nearly two decades — as strong US business data and rising energy costs intensified inflation concerns.
- Market expectations for Fed rate hikes shifted sharply, with odds for an October rate increase jumping to 71% from 55% a day earlier; traders now project four additional hikes over the next 12 months.
- Rising yields push up borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans, and business lending across the economy, while stock markets fell as investors recalibrated to higher-for-longer interest rates.
“The 10-year Treasury yield on Wednesday rose to around 5.1 percent, as investors grew more convinced the Fed Reserve will raise interest rates again.”
