TREE NEWS reports: The 10-year US Treasury yield rose as much as 4 basis points to 5.33%, breaking its 2007 high, while the 30-year US yield reached its highest level since 2002. The 30-year UK gilt yield climbed 5 basis points to 6%, the highest since March 1998. Persistent inflation and expectations that rates will stay elevated drove the global bond selloff, with rising oil prices adding pressure.
US 10-Year Treasury Yield Tops 5.33%, Highest Since 2007; UK 30-Year Hits 6%
The synchronized move in US and UK long-end yields matters less as a Treasury story than as a discount-rate story: when the risk-free curve reprices this far, every duration-sensitive asset — equities, real estate, and yield-bearing crypto/RWA products — is repriced against it. The RWA sector is directly exposed, since tokenized treasuries and yield instruments compete with a 5%-plus risk-free alternative, and their pitch weakens if that level holds. The open question is whether the inflation and oil pressure cited here keeps long-end yields elevated, or whether this proves a spike rather than a regime.
