Treasury Yields Soar After Fed Abandons Forward Guidance

The Federal Reserve's decision to reduce forward policy guidance has led to a sharp sell-off in U.S. Treasuries, with yields rising across the curve.

The 2-year yield climbed to 4.37%, its highest since February 2025, while the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield reached 4.71%, a high not seen since January 2025.

The 30-year Treasury yield briefly touched 5.19%, approaching levels rarely seen since 2007, and the 30-year real yield surged to 2.98%, its highest since 2008.

The market reaction has been intense, with analysts pointing to escalating tensions in Iran driving oil prices near $100 a barrel, fueling inflation concerns and policy repricing.
