The 10-year US Treasury yield topped 4.7%, reaching its highest level since January 2025.
The yield rose on Wednesday, according to market data.
Traders awaited jobless claims data due later in the session.
The move comes as a surge in oil prices sparked inflation fears.
The 10-year US Treasury yield has climbed further, reaching an 18-month intraday high. Market observers now note that the yield is threatening to break out to a 19-month peak.
The 10-year Treasury yield has climbed further to reach an 18-month intraday high, signaling potential movement toward a 19-month peak. This upward momentum in bond yields is being fueled by oil prices surging to $100 per barrel, which analysts warn could reignite renewed pressure on inflation.
Oil prices have surged to $100 per barrel, while the 10-year breakeven inflation rate has climbed to 2.28% due to escalating Middle East tensions. Additionally, 30-year TIPS yields reached 2.97%, a record high since 2010. Alphabet has increased its annual capital expenditure plans by $15 billion, with CFO Anat Ashkenazi noting that demand "still outpaces that investment." Furthermore, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the recent rate climb could cost taxpayers approximately $1.8 trillion in additional interest over the next decade.
