10-year Treasury note yield hits highest level since 2002 as traders brace for key bond sale
The yield neared 5.31% as traders awaited the auction and Federal Reserve minutes, with interest-rate futures pricing in at least three more hikes.
- On Wednesday, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed to about 5.35%, its highest level since 2002, as investors sold government bonds ahead of a $39 billion note auction and Federal Reserve meeting minutes.
- Persistent inflation fears and massive deficit spending drove the bond sell-off, with heavy debt issuance by tech giants funding AI-linked infrastructure projects adding pressure to borrowing costs across developed economies.
- BMO's Head of U.S. Rates Strategy Ian Lyngen said Wednesday's $39 billion supply is 'far more relevant for setting the tone in US rates,' signaling investors demand significant premiums to absorb new debt.
- Rising yields pressured equity valuations as major indices tumbled, with investors weighing higher corporate borrowing costs and reduced present value of future earnings affecting REITs and technology stocks.
- Strategists polled by Reuters expect the benchmark yield to ease to 5.00% by year-end, though traders pricing in a 78% chance of unchanged Federal Reserve rates suggest conviction behind lower-yield forecasts remains wavering.
