Rising Treasury Yields Signal Stronger Economy and Further Fed Rate Hikes, Spooking Markets

  • Treasury yields have jumped to highest levels since before the 2007-2009 recession, rattling investors and stock markets globally.

  • Key drivers are higher "term premium" or extra compensation for holding long-term bonds, as well as a surprisingly resilient U.S. economy and job market.

  • This implies the Fed may need to raise interest rates higher than expected to tame inflation, adding to upward pressure on yields.

  • The yield curve is rapidly "un-inverting" as markets unwind bets on an imminent economic downturn.

  • If strong data persists, yields could rise further, with 10-year possibly hitting 5.5% and 30-year breaking above 5%.
