US 10-Year Yields Holds Decline

2026-10-16 02:52 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note remained below 5.1% on Friday after falling sharply in the previous session, as a global equity selloff boosted safe-haven demand for government bonds.

Investors are increasingly pricing in a potential slowdown in the artificial intelligence capital expenditure boom, which has been a major driver of the US economy and financial markets.

Meanwhile, market participants continued to evaluate the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy outlook, with stronger-than-expected US economic data reinforcing expectations of further interest rate hikes.

Markets are currently pricing in approximately a 72% probability that the Fed will leave rates unchanged this month, while the likelihood of a December rate hike has climbed to 92%.

Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack cautioned that the central bank may need to raise interest rates more aggressively if public inflation expectations deteriorate significantly.

US 10-Year Yield Rebounds Past 5%
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury rose past the 5% threshold, rebounding from near-two-month lows after hot inflation data consolidated bets that the Fed will deliver multiple additional rate hikes in the current cycle. Both headline and core consumer prices rose more than expected in October, adding to evidence that soaring energy prices are being transmitted into core sectors of a resilient economy. The data followed hawkish comments from Fed Governor Waller, who said he would support a 50bps increase in December if inflation continued to accelerate. Also, Dallas Fed President Logan supported at least two additional 25bps increases. Treasury yields of all maturities had already rebounded this week as markets regained risk sentiment following a brief flight to safety after the Democratic Party gained control of Congress, driving markets to reconsider advances in the tech sector that has carried investment in the US economy. US bond markets will be closed on Wednesday for a holiday.

Treasury Yields Fluctuate
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury fluctuated around 4.88% on Monday, as investors positioned themselves ahead of a series of key economic releases this week that could influence expectations for the Fed’s next policy moves. This week’s CPI and PPI releases, are expected to point to a moderation in both monthly headline consumer and producer inflation.
