30-Year Treasury Yield Hits 25-Year High of 5.216%
The U.S. Treasury sold $25 billion of 30-year bonds on Thursday at a 5.216% yield, the highest auction rate for the maturity since 2001. The result exceeded July’s 5.058% yield and reflected investors’ demand for additional compensation to hold long-duration U.S. debt amid persistent inflation concerns and large federal borrowing needs. The auction came after the Labor Department reported July producer prices were unchanged from June and 4.7% higher than a year earlier, easing expectations for an immediate Federal Reserve rate increase. Treasury yields for shorter maturities also declined during Thursday trading. The auction’s 2.39 bid-to-cover ratio indicated continued demand despite the higher yield. Long-term Treasury yields influence mortgage and corporate borrowing costs and can increase federal interest expenses as debt is refinanced. The Congressional Budget Office projects federal debt held by the public will reach 120% of GDP by 2036. Investors now await further Fed signals at Jackson Hole.
