What happened, for context

US Treasury yields reached multi-year highs on September 25-26, 2025, with 10-year yields hitting 5.1-5.17% (the highest since 2007) and 30-year yields reaching 5.4-5.46% (the highest since 2004). The surge followed stronger-than-expected US business activity data and Fed officials' hawkish commentary, driving expectations of further interest rate increases and affecting mortgage rates and global bond markets.
