Treasury Yields Hit Multi-Decade Highs as U.S. Stocks Decline
U.S. stock indexes closed lower on September 29, 2026, as long-dated Treasury yields climbed to multi-decade highs despite falling oil prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped between 0.2% and 0.3% on Tuesday, with surging yields pressuring cyclical stocks. By September 30, the 10-year Treasury yield rose above 5.3%, reaching its highest level since 2007. While Microsoft and other tech stocks provided some support, overall market breadth remained weak, leaving bonds to end September with a monthly loss.
Why it matters
