10-year Treasury yield hits highest level since 2023 as US Federal Reserve decision looms
The US 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5%, its highest since October 2023, as crude oil prices and inflation worries build. Traders see about a 90% chance the Federal Reserve hikes rates at its September 15-16 meeting. This yield is a benchmark for mortgage and auto loan rates, so borrowing costs stay high. Watch your overseas funding plans.
