The 30-year Treasury yield jumped more than 10 basis points, topping 5%, before easing just below that threshold by midday.
The article from Fortune, published on May 19, 2025, discusses the significant selloff in the bond market, particularly affecting the 30-year Treasury yields, which have surged to their highest levels in over a decade. This selloff has been triggered by a combination of factors including Moody's downgrade of U.S. debt, concerns over the sustainability of Trump-era tax cuts, and rising inflation expectations. The article highlights the market's reaction to these developments, with investors demanding higher yields to compensate for increased risk. Additionally, the piece touches on the broader economic implications, such as potential impacts on mortgage rates and corporate borrowing costs, and suggests that the Federal Reserve may need to reconsider its monetary policy stance in light of these market dynamics.
