US 10-Year Yield Holds at 19-Year High

2026-09-28 01:52 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note rose to around 5.2% on Monday, staying at its highest level since July 2007 as expectations strengthened that the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy further to contain inflation.

Data released Friday showed new orders for key US manufactured capital goods rose more than anticipated in August, pointing to another quarter of solid growth in business spending.

The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey also confirmed a sharp increase in inflation expectations in September.

Markets are currently pricing in roughly a 66% probability of a Fed rate hike in October.

Investors now await the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge and key US jobs data this week for additional guidance.

Adding to concerns, Treasury Secretary Bessent’s efforts to contain long-term yields through increased Treasury buybacks are widely viewed as having had limited effect.

US 10-Year Yield Holds at One-Month Low
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note held around 4.97% on Friday after falling by more than 10 basis points in the previous session to its lowest level in a month. The decline came as a deepening selloff in technology and artificial intelligence stocks prompted investors to seek safer assets, including government bonds. Growing concerns over the sustainability of AI investments, a key driver of US economic growth, also prompted markets to scale back expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes. Markets are now pricing in roughly a 91% probability that the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged next week, while the likelihood of a rate increase in December stands at around 80%. Meanwhile, escalating tensions in the Middle East, amid reports that the US and Israel are preparing potential renewed strikes against Iran after the midterm elections, further strengthened demand for safe-haven assets.
