    US 10-Year Yield Hits 4.65% as Bond Market Reprices Duration Risk

    Question

    US 10-Year Yield Hits 4.65% as Bond Market Reprices Duration Risk

    Direct answer

    The surge in Treasury yields to 4.65% on the 10-year note reflects a significant repricing of inflation and growth expectations. With the 30-year yield crossing 5.3%, the cost of long-term capital is rising just as major tech firms like Amazon are increasing their debt issuance to fund AI infrastructure. This move in rates is beginning to attract institutional flows back into bond ETFs, which have suffered years of losses. The higher yield environment poses a direct challenge to the 'TINA' (There Is No Alternative) narrative that supported equity markets.
