U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rise near 5% amid global bond selloff
U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rose toward 5% in September 2026, reaching multiyear highs. The bond selloff was driven by surging oil prices above $100 per barrel and rising expectations of a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike. Treasury Secretary Bessent faced pressure as borrowing costs approached the closely watched threshold.
