Treasury yields inch higher as eurozone and Japanese bond yields edge lower on Friday
September 25, 2026
The 10-year Treasury note yield edged up to 5.17% on Friday, a day after its highest level since June 2007, while the 30-year bond held flat at 5.463%.
Yields and prices on US Treasury debt move in opposite directions, and this week's global selloff also reached Japanese government bonds, UK gilts and German bunds.
Key facts
- CNBC reports that Treasury yields rose after a hawkish speech on Wednesday by Fed Governor Michael Barr, who said inflation should come back to target through "further policy adjustments".
- US Treasury yields rose slightly on Friday, CNBC reports, as sellers kept pushing after strong economic figures and hawkish remarks from Fed officials.
CNBC reports that US Treasury yields rose slightly on Friday, with the 10-year note up less than one basis point at 5.17% after Thursday took it to its highest rate since June 2007. The 30-year bond sat flat at 5.463% following a climb to levels last seen in 2004, and the 2-year yield barely moved at 4.899%. CNBC ties the pressure to hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr. In a speech on Wednesday, he said "further policy adjustments" can be expected to bring inflation to target, along with stubbornly high oil prices and a purchasing managers' index at its highest in more than four years.
The WSJ agrees on the direction, with a headline saying Treasury yields close the week sharply higher. Bloomberg.com frames the move more broadly, with a headline casting 5% yields as the start of a new era that lasts until something gives way. CNBC places the US move inside a global selloff this week that pushed Japanese government bonds, UK gilts, German bunds and other eurozone debt to fresh highs, and it reports that eurozone and Japanese yields eased on Friday.
The outlets agree that yields are high and still climbing. The Friday figures for each maturity come from CNBC, and how long the pressure lasts is not settled in the coverage.
Still developing
The move in Treasury yields after Thursday's highs was still forming by the time of draft.
