10-year Treasury yield hits highest level since 2002 as global bond rout gathers pace

The 10-year Treasury yield rose to its highest level since 2002 amid a deepening global bond sell-off. The benchmark yield increased 4 basis points to reach 5.3338% according to LSEG data. This upward pressure on yields stems from mounting market pressure due to federal budget deficits and follows the worst quarter for U.S. Treasuries since 1994. The rising yields are impacting consumer borrowing costs including mortgage rates, credit cards, and auto loans, while also triggering market volatility across global stocks and Asian markets.

  1. 10-Year Treasury Yield Hits Highest Level Since 2002

    The 10-year Treasury yield rose to its highest level since 2002 amid a deepening global bond sell-off. The benchmark yield increased 4 basis points to reach 5.3338% according to LSEG data. This upward pressure on yields stems from mounting market pressure due to federal budget deficits and follows the worst quarter for U.S. Treasuries since 1994. The rising yields are impacting consumer borrowing costs including mortgage rates, credit cards, and auto loans, while also triggering market volatility across global stocks and Asian markets.

    Why it matters

    Global bond markets are experiencing intense downward pressure as government debt suffers severe quarterly losses. U.S. Treasuries recently concluded their worst quarter since 1994, reflecting broader macroeconomic strain. Federal budget deficits are compounding the pressure on debt instruments, which in turn elevates borrowing costs throughout the broader economy.

    What is confirmed

    • The 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since 2002.
    • The benchmark yield was last seen 4 basis points higher at 5.3338% according to LSEG data.
    • U.S. Treasuries suffered their worst quarter since 1994.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Market pressure on bond yields is driven by federal budget deficits.
    • UBS has established specific yield thresholds where income cushions fail to protect investors from capital losses.
