30-Year Yield Hits 5.44% as Fed Hike Odds Surge Past 70%

Treasury yields were trading at multidecade highs on Thursday, as investor bets on another rate hike from the Federal Reserve mounted.

The 30-year Treasury bond yield was last about 10 basis points higher, hitting a high of 5.501%, a level not seen since June 2004. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield, which is tied to rates on mortgages, surged more than 10 basis points to 5.223%, to levels not reached since June 2007. The 2-year note yield rose more than 4 basis points to 4.941%.

One basis point equals 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.

The US government's 30-year Treasury yield just surged to its highest level since 2004 as stock markets drop across the board.
