The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has surpassed 5%, a level not seen in some time, while the 30-year yield touched 5.4%. This rise in yields is prompting debate on whether it stems from a hot economy with increased investment or from monetary debasement concerns.
“The U.S. 10-year treasury yield breaks 5%. First time it's done that in a while.”
“And the 30-year as well, a little down on the week. 5.4% it touched. Yeah, it touched 5.4%.”
“I think the real reason might just be back to the 1980s, we are in a hot economy. GDP is humming, at least from a nominal perspective.”
