Treasury Yields Rise, 10-Year Yield Hits Highest Since 2007

2026-09-14 13:13 By Joana Taborda 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note topped 5% on Monday, marking the highest intraday since 2023 and its highest closing level since 2007.

The rise came as another surge in oil prices was expected to add to inflationary pressures and worsen the price outlook, strengthening the case for further Fed tightening.

Traders see nearly an 89% chance that the Fed will deliver a 25 bps rate hike this week, which would be its first increase in borrowing costs since 2023.

Policymakers will also release fresh economic forecasts, with traders looking for any guidance on the future path of interest rates.

Meanwhile, the yield on the 2-year Treasury note, which is more sensitive to short-term Federal Reserve policy, edged up to 4.66%, its highest level since mid-2024.

The yield on 30-year Treasury bonds, which are more sensitive to longer-term inflation and geopolitical risks, topped 5.36%, approaching the highs last seen in 2004 and touched last week.

US 10-Year Yield Holds Near 5%
The yield on the 10-Year US Treasury note held just below 5% on Tuesday after rising for four consecutive sessions, as elevated oil prices fueled inflation concerns ahead of an expected interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve this week. The benchmark yield is also approaching its highest levels since 2007. Oil prices resumed their climb as Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline remained shut, while Ukraine disputed President Trump’s claim that it had already reached an agreement with Russia to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, markets are pricing in roughly a 92% probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike by the Fed on Wednesday, following hotter-than-expected inflation data last week. Long-term yields were also pushed higher by surging corporate debt issuance from AI companies, which has constrained capital allocation by primary dealers and other financial institutions.

US 10-Year Yield Eases from 5%
The yield on the 10-Year US Treasury note eased to 4.96% on Monday after having tested a 19-year high of 5.01% earlier in the session, tracking the slight pullback for key energy prices as markets gauged the magnitude of inflation risks. Wholesale fuel prices eased after President Trump signaled that Russia and Ukraine would halt strikes on energy infrastructure. Still, energy inflation continued to pressure Treasuries across the curve as recent data suggested that tariffs and high fuel costs had impacted underlying inflation gauges. Money markets show that the Federal Reserve is expected to raise its rates by 25bps on Wednesday. In turn, long-maturity Treasury yields have also been supported soaring levels of corporate debt by AI companies, limiting allocation of capital by primary dealers and other financial institutions. Lastly, hawkish expectations for the ECB and BoJ also pressured bonds.
