US 10-Year and 30-Year Treasury Yields Hold Above 5.00%
Question
US 10-Year and 30-Year Treasury Yields Hold Above 5.00%
Direct answer
Long-duration Treasury yields sustaining above 5.00% mark a structural repricing of the term premium and neutral interest rate expectations. Borrowing costs across corporate and mortgage debt markets remain anchored at multi-decade highs. Equity indices have demonstrated resilience, supported by corporate earnings growth. However, sustained 5% risk-free benchmarks cap valuation expansion and tighten underwriting standards for capital-intensive sectors. — bearish pressure on QQQ.
