10-Year Treasury Yield Hits 16-Month High — What It Means [Wq1BlanPmx7]
The 10-year Treasury yield just hit its highest level since January 2025 — and oil prices are the reason why. Here's exactly what happened and what it means for your bonds, mortgage, and retirement income. Welcome to PodMust. I'm Daniel Tan, and today we're breaking down the surge in Treasury yields driven by oil crossing $100 a barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions, and why the Federal Reserve's next move just got more complicated. On Thursday, July 23rd, Brent crude jumped 7% to $100.69 a barrel following reports of Houthi attacks on tankers near Saudi Arabia and renewed U.S. threats against Iran. That spike pushed the 10-year Treasury yield to its highest level in over a year, with the 2-year and 30-year yields also climbing. Fed funds futures now show over 80% odds of a rate move as inflation risk collides with a cooling labor market.
