#USTreasuryYieldsRise The 10-year Treasury yield reaching 5.2% is striking, but the number that really caught my attention was the 7.45% mortgage rate 🏠 The 30-year yield has also climbed to around 5.46%, its highest level in 22 years. With the Fed hiking again and further tightening still being discussed, higher borrowing costs are spreading well beyond the bond market. To me, this is where monetary policy becomes very tangible. Expensive mortgages pressure housing affordability, while higher financing costs make companies more cautious about investment and debt. Risk-asset valuations also face a tougher comparison when government bonds offer higher returns. The Treasury is expanding long-term debt buybacks to support market liquidity, but that doesn’t remove the broader cost pressure. I’m curious which area feels the strain first: housing, corporate borrowing, or high-valuation assets 📊
