Pressure on U.S. Treasurys eases after 30-year yield hits highest level since 2002

Pressure on U.S. Treasurys is pausing as oil prices strengthen and markets look toward upcoming personal consumption expenditures inflation data. The recent bond selloff pushed long-term yields to multi-decade highs, with the 30-year Treasury yield crossing 5.61 percent to reach its highest level since 2002. Elevated energy prices, heavy corporate debt issuance, and mounting concerns over government borrowing have driven the surge in global debt markets, leaving major stock averages heading for a losing week.
