10-year Treasury hits highest since 2007 as stocks slide
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield climbed to about 5.11%, its highest since 2007, after hot PMI data and a weak note auction, sending the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower while oil eased Thursday on diplomacy hopes.
U.S. equities fell as the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield jumped to roughly 5.11%—the highest since 2007—after S&P Global’s flash PMI and a soft five-year note auction reinforced rate-hike bets, market wraps carried by Kontan/Reuters and TradingKey summarized.
The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posted Wednesday losses, with the Nasdaq off more than 1% from a fresh record. Fed Governor Michael Barr said further policy adjustments may be needed after last week’s hike, and futures priced elevated odds of an October move. Thursday brought speeches from New York Fed President John Williams and others onto the calendar.
Oil eased off highs near $102 Brent as Middle East diplomacy headlines competed with supply risks, while Japan’s 10-year yield hit a 30-year high in sympathy. Accounts agree the yield shock drove the equity selloff; they diverge on whether October is locked for another hike or whether one PMI print overstates persistence.
