US Treasuries hit five percent
2h
US Treasury yields topped 5% for the first time since 2023, reaching multi‑year highs and prompting global investors to grow cautious while intensifying pressure on property markets.
US Treasury yields hovering around 5%; global oil shock incoming; AI fear, exuberance, and debt reaching new heights. Feels like something's got to give.

That means we are likely to see yields go a lot higher before this ends unless either the AI boom blows up or deficits shrink. Be prepared for a 10-year Treasury bond at 5 1/2 or 6% when this ends.
Those dynamics speak to a sudden stop rather than a gentle cooling when things come back to earth/END

Pretty sure that I'm going to get a bunch of journalists asking what it means for the American economy that the 10-year treasury just hit 5%.
Lemme answer here: It means that interest rates are high. A bit higher than 4.9%, but a bit lower than 5.1%. That's it.

I’ve worked with several treasury secretaries, and I can honestly say that Scott Bessent is the worst I’ve ever witnessed.
He seems to be doing everything possible to lose credibility, which is critical to soothing markets and maintaining faith in the dollar.

Bessent dared the markets to ‘bet against’ him. Bond traders did — and appear to be winning.
As the Trump administration digs deeper into its toolbox to lower longer-term bond yields, they’re only surging higher.
