U.S. 10-year Treasury yield hits highest level since 2002 at ~5.33–5.35%
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to its highest level since 2002, briefly touching ~5.35% with 30-year yields around 5.7%. Drivers include strong AI/capital spending demand, elevated energy prices, fiscal concerns, and inflation signals.
TLDR
Higher yields raise borrowing costs for mortgages and corporations, pressure valuations across markets, and signal persistent inflation or fiscal dominance. The rise coexists with stock records (especially tech/AI), creating debate about market sustainability. Impacts global bonds, housing markets, and central bank policy expectations worldwide.
