Ten-Year Treasury Yield Hits Fresh 24-Year High

By Paulo Trevisani

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.304% Wednesday, its highest intraday level since May 2002.

The move extends a bond selloff as markets digest mixed signals from the most recent inflation data.

PCE core inflation rose by 3% over the 12 months ended in August, the Commerce Department said, down from 3.3% a month earlier. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected 3.3% again.

Yields fell on the data, just to recover later, with longer-end tenors rising faster. The 30-year reached 5.651%, hovering around 24-year highs.

Employment data due Friday are likely to swing yields, as markets estimate the likelihood of an interest rate increase by the Fed in October.

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes.
