Treasury Yields Surge
US Treasury yields shot sharply last week after the strong labor market data. The 10-year Treasury note yield has risen to nearly 4.77%, its highest level since November 2023, as job reports turned positive. Economists had predicted 155,000 new jobs, but job growth topped this number, making the economy appear even stronger. This increase in yields threatens to raise the specter of inflation and an additional round of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. If the economy remains healthy, the 10-year yield may top or exceed 5% very soon.
