U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield Surges Above 5.30% to Reach 24-Year High
The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield has officially climbed above 5.30%, marking its highest level since spring 2002.
The sharp upward move brings the 10-year yield up by approximately 55 basis points over the month and 138 basis points above its March 2026 low, driven by resilient macroeconomic data, persistent energy-driven inflation pressures, and heavy fiscal debt supply.
As bond yields scale multi-decade highs, average U.S. mortgage rates have simultaneously pushed higher, closing in on 7.60% and tightening borrowing conditions across housing and credit markets.
