US 10-year yields reach 5%, highest since 2023
The move lifted mortgage rates and could pressure stocks as traders price in higher-for-longer Federal Reserve policy.
- On Monday, the 10-year Treasury yield hit 5%, a critical threshold not seen since 2007, significantly raising borrowing costs for Americans across mortgages and corporate debt markets.
- Large federal deficits, heavy debt issuance, and sticky inflation drive the rising term premium, while uncertainty regarding the war with Iran further complicates the global bond market.
- The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.76% last week, up from 6.15% at the year's start. This marks a stark shift from five years ago, when the 10-year yield traded at 1.3%.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has sought to contain long-end pressure through expanded buyback programs, though fundamental fiscal and inflation drivers continue pushing yields higher despite these interventions.
- Ten-Year yields in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have reached levels not seen in over a decade, signaling what Luis Alvarado of Wells Fargo Investment Institute calls a "normal for longer" era.
