The yield on the US 30-year Treasury bond rises to its highest level since September.
Jinse Finance reported that U.S. long-term Treasury prices have fallen, with the 30-year Treasury yield rising to its highest level since early September. This week, the impact of the Federal Reserve's rate cuts and policy stance has gradually permeated the market. The 30-year Treasury yield once rose by 6 basis points to 4.86%, reaching a new high since September 5, and has increased by about 5 basis points this week. The 2-year Treasury yield was basically flat on Friday, with a slight decline for the week. Expectations that the Federal Reserve may further cut rates next year have supported lower yields on short-term Treasuries, while long-term yields reflect persistently high inflation. On Friday, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee and Kansas City Fed President Schmid said that inflation concerns are the main reason they oppose rate cuts and support maintaining the status quo. Strategist Edward Harrison stated: "Goolsbee said he opposes rate cuts due to concerns about inflation. Given that traders still expect two 25-basis-point rate cuts by the end of 2026, his comments indicate that U.S. Treasuries face downside risks."
