U.S. 30-year Treasury yield hits 5.3% as Treasury plans to at least double long-bond purchases from Sept. 9
AI Market Summary
A surge in 30-year U.S. yields to 5.3% and the Treasury's plan to at least double long-bond purchases signals stress in duration markets amid a $40T federal debt load and rapidly rising interest costs. The rebound in yields after intervention suggests reduced policy traction and deteriorating confidence. A weaker dollar (DXY at a three-month low) alongside a sharp weekly gain in gold highlights growing hedging demand and tighter financial conditions risk.

The U.S. 30-year Treasury yield rose to 5.3%, its highest level since 2007, prompting the Treasury Department to say it will at least double purchases of long-dated bonds from September to November. Federal debt crossed $40 trillion this week, while interest payments reached $963 billion in the first 10 months of the fiscal year—exceeding military spending and slightly topping Medicare. The dollar index fell to a three-month low and gold gained 4.7% this week after setting a record above $5,500 an ounce in January.
