Treasury yields ease as traders eye 30-year near-1999 highs
U.S. Treasuries pulled back slightly after Monday’s spike, with the 10-year yield around 4.62% and the 30-year near 5.14%, while the 2-year sits near 4.08%. A Bank of America survey shows 62% of global fund managers expect 30-year yields to reach 6%—the highest since 1999—helped by ongoing inflation pressures from energy costs and deficits; analysts caution that the market’s rate-hike expectations may be excessive if inflation and growth dynamics diverge. Oil prices remain elevated, underscoring long-end pressure.
