    10-Year Treasury Yield Holds Near 20-Month High at 4.80% to 5.00%

    Question

    10-Year Treasury Yield Holds Near 20-Month High at 4.80% to 5.00%

    Direct answer

    The benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield continues to test the 4.80% to 5.00% handle. This level represents a 20-month peak, maintaining strict discount-rate pressure on equity cash-flow models. Fixed income yields at these levels offer substantial non-equity competition for institutional capital, raising the required equity risk premium across large-cap valuations.
