    Treasury Yields Hit Multi-Year Highs; 10Y at 4.65%

    Question

    Treasury Yields Hit Multi-Year Highs; 10Y at 4.65%

    Direct answer

    Treasury yields have surged to levels not seen in years, with the 10-year benchmark hitting 4.65%. This move is exerting significant pressure on the technology sector, particularly semiconductors like Micron (MU), which fell 7% in a single session recently. The yield curve remains a primary focus as the 30-year yield crosses the 5.3% threshold, potentially signaling a shift in long-term inflation or supply expectations.
