TREE NEWS reports: The US 10-year Treasury yield fell 16.60 basis points to 4.9530% in late New York trading on Thursday, October 22, after trading between 5.1149% and 4.9365% during the session and approaching its September 23 low of 4.9307%. The two-year yield dropped 16.63 bps to 4.6396%, while the 30-year yield declined 12.85 bps to 5.2804%, as investors sought safe havens amid a selloff in AI-related stocks.
US 10-year Treasury yield falls over 16 bps as AI stock selloff drives safe-haven demand
The notable detail is the symmetry of the move: the two-year fell almost exactly as much as the ten-year, suggesting a broad safe-haven bid rather than a shift in rate expectations along the curve. That framing matters for crypto and RWA markets, which have increasingly traded alongside risk assets like AI equities — a rotation into Treasuries on an equity selloff is the same correlation story in reverse. Whether the ten-year holds above its September low, or breaks through it, is the level worth watching as a gauge of how defensive positioning has become.
