Trump administration expands Treasury buybacks after 10-year yield hits 4.70% and eases to 4.65%
AI Market Summary
A sharp rise in long-end Treasury yields (10Y near 4.65%, 30Y above 5%) amid Iran-war-driven oil pressure and deficit concerns is tightening financial conditions, lifting mortgage and corporate borrowing costs, and challenging elevated equity valuations. Treasury buybacks temporarily eased yields, but the durability is uncertain and could backfire if insufficient. Fed communication remains non-committal, reinforcing term-premium and inflation-risk concerns.

U.S. bond yields have jumped as the war with Iran pushed up oil prices and revived investor worries about inflation and government deficits. The 10-year Treasury yield briefly topped 4.70% before slipping back to 4.65%, up from 3.97% before the conflict began in late February, while 30-year fixed mortgage rates climbed to near a one-year high. Longer-dated yields have also risen sharply, with the 30-year Treasury yield moving well above 5%. Uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next steps after Chair Kevin Warsh offered little guidance has added to the pressure at the long end of the curve.
