US 10-Year Yield Holds Advance

2026-05-08 02:54 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note hovered around 4.39% on Friday, following an advance of about 3 basis points in the previous session, as renewed US-Iran clashes in the Strait of Hormuz reduced expectations for an imminent peace deal and reignited inflation concerns.

Three US Navy destroyers transiting the strategic waterway reportedly intercepted Iranian attacks and carried out defensive strikes, although President Donald Trump said the ceasefire remains in effect.

The Trump administration is still awaiting Iran’s response to a proposal aimed at reopening Hormuz and bringing an end to the nearly 10-week conflict, with reports suggesting Tehran is expected to reply via Pakistan within the next two days.

Meanwhile, investors are also focused on the upcoming April jobs report, which is forecast to show the US economy added 62K jobs last month, down from 178K in March, while the unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 4.3%.

10-Year Treasury Yield Surges 16bps
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note surged up to 16 bps to above 5.12% on Wednesday, the highest since 2007, as strong economic data and high energy prices consolidated expectations of more rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. S&P Global data showed private-sector activity expanding at its fastest pace in more than five years in September, with both services and manufacturing improving. The survey also showed accelerating inflationary pressures across both sides of the economy. The data were combined with hawkish remarks from Iranian leaders on their conflict with the US and GCC states, dimming hopes that imminent diplomatic improvements could restore energy supply from the Middle East. Treasuries have also been pressured by soaring corporate debt supply, with AI companies issuing over $1.5 trillion this year. Hence, primary dealers showed signs of uneasy demand at auctions, with the latest 5-year note auction tailing 3.1bps, well above recent averages.

US 10-Year Treasury Yield Back Above 5%
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note surged toward 5.1% on Wednesday, returning to 2007 highs, after stronger-than-expected PMI data for the US fueled expectations of further Fed rate hikes. Preliminary S&P Global data showed private-sector activity expanding at its fastest pace in more than five years in September, with both services and manufacturing improving.
