CNBC2 min read6 sources

Why is the 10-year Treasury yield up today?

10-Year Treasury yield (US10Y) rose to 5.33% on Thursday, its highest since 2002, after a global bond rout deepened on Fed rate-hike bets and rising oil prices.

What happened

10-Year Treasury yield (US10Y) rose to 5.33% on Thursday, its highest since 2002, after a global bond rout deepened on Fed rate-hike bets and rising oil prices. The 30-year yield also climbed to about 5.67%, its highest since July 2002 (per). A yield is the interest the US government pays to borrow, and it rises when investors sell bonds. Traders see about a 70% chance the Federal Reserve raises rates again in October. France and the UK have also seen yields hit multi-year highs.

Why it matters

The US 10-year Treasury yield is the starting point for many everyday loan rates, including mortgages, car loans and credit cards. At a 24-year high, borrowing gets more expensive for households, companies and the government. Some investors also say stock valuations come under pressure once long-term yields pass about 5.5%.
