Surging Yields Bring the Bond Market Back to the Turn of the Century
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has climbed above 5.3% and is trending toward 6%, triggering a global bond selloff. This rout has pushed government yields in Australia, Japan, France, and the UK to multi-decade highs. While the 30-year yield recently hit its highest level since 2002, some recent pressure has eased. Market volatility persists as high fuel prices, driven by supply chain disruptions, contribute to the selloff, though traders have reduced bets on an October Federal Reserve rate hike following cool PCE data.

U.S. Treasury Yields Surge as Global Bond Rout Deepens
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has climbed above 5.3% and is trending toward 6%, triggering a global bond selloff. This rout has pushed government yields in Australia, Japan, France, and the UK to multi-decade highs. While the 30-year yield recently hit its highest level since 2002, some recent pressure has eased. Market volatility persists as high fuel prices, driven by supply chain disruptions, contribute to the selloff, though traders have reduced bets on an October Federal Reserve rate hike following cool PCE data.
