TL;DR Summary

US Treasury yields have reached their highest level since 2007 as investors anticipate elevated interest rates even after the Federal Reserve concludes its rate hikes. The selloff in the bond market has affected both typical Treasuries and inflation-protected ones, indicating that bondholders are preparing for tight monetary policy to combat potential inflation. The rise in yields is driven by a resilient economy, receding recession fears, and increased supply of Treasury debt due to large federal budget deficits. Analysts suggest that the recent moves have been amplified by low summer liquidity, and the market expects the Fed to maintain higher interest rates for a longer period. The upcoming auctions of 20-year bonds and 30-year TIPS will be closely watched for any signs of the current selloff ending or continuing.
