US 10-Year Treasury Yield Surpasses 5% for the First Time Since 2007
The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note surpassed 5% for the first time in 16 years.
On the 19th (local time), according to LSEG iBoxx and major foreign media, the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note, which serves as a benchmark for global bond yields, reached 5.001% annually at 5 p.m. that day. This is the first time since July 2007, 16 years ago, that the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note has risen above 5%.
The market reacted after the Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) indicated that the current high interest rates would be maintained for a longer period.
