US 10-year Treasury yields rose from 4.95% to surpass a weekly high of 5.20%. ActionForex reported that the upward movement followed a weak US 5-year auction earlier in the week, which triggered broader selling across global debt markets.
Government bond yields in Europe and Japan also reached new cycle highs during the week, indicating sustained pressure on fixed-income assets. While the technical break above 5.20% in the US benchmark is considered bearish for bond prices, equity markets have remained relatively stable despite the volatility in yields.
