    10-Year Treasury Yield Reaches 5.00% Ahead of September 16 FOMC Decision

    Question

    10-Year Treasury Yield Reaches 5.00% Ahead of September 16 FOMC Decision

    Direct answer

    U.S. benchmark borrowing costs pushed to 5.00% on the 10-year Treasury note, revisiting levels last seen in 2007. The upward repricing reflects sticky inflation expectations driven by energy price strength and trade policy measures. The 5.00% threshold represents a critical valuation constraint for long-duration growth assets, compounding pressure on semiconductor and enterprise software multiples heading into tomorrow's Federal Reserve interest rate announcement on September 16. Cross-asset equity performance displayed rotation away from capital-intensive tech toward non-hardware cash flows during recent sessions. — bearish pressure on NVDA.
