Bond-market strain lifts 30-year mortgage rates to nearly 7% as 10-year yield nears 4.75%
AI Market Summary
War-driven oil disruption is lifting inflation toward 4% and pushing the 10Y Treasury yield to ~4.75%, tightening financial conditions via higher mortgage rates. With Fed communication reduced and large fiscal deficits increasing Treasury supply, term premia are rising and demand for duration appears weaker. The piece also flags USD softness alongside stronger gold/bitcoin as a signal of diminished confidence in Treasurys' safe-haven status.

The Iran war has pushed inflation to near 4%, well above the Federal Reserve’s target, and sent the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield up to around 4.75%. As yields rose, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed from below 6% before the war to nearly 7%. On a $320,000 loan, that translates to roughly $210 more in monthly payments. The bond market is also facing heavy supply pressure as the U.S. annual budget deficit is expected to exceed $2 trillion, or more than 6% of GDP.
