U.S. Treasury yields hit 24-year highs, pressuring global markets
Global financial markets experienced significant volatility as U.S. Treasury yields surged to levels not seen since 2002. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield reached an intraday high of approximately 5.36%, while 30-year yields climbed above 5.7%. This spike in borrowing costs pressured major stock indexes, including the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, which all retreated from recent record highs. The sell-off was particularly pronounced in technology and small-cap stocks.
Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s September meeting reinforced expectations of further monetary tightening, with most policymakers viewing an additional interest rate hike before year-end as appropriate. Despite the yield surge, a $39 billion auction of 10-year notes saw solid demand, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.77, helping to stabilize yields later in the session.
Commodity markets also reacted to the shifting economic landscape. Gold prices faced downward pressure, dropping below the $4,100 per ounce threshold due to a strengthening U.S. dollar and rising real yields. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices remained elevated near $100 per barrel, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and discussions regarding potential military action involving Iran.
