U.S. Treasury yields have surged, with the 10-year note reaching 4.763%, a level not seen in three years, and the 30-year note hitting 5.26%. This increase in yields reflects tighter financial conditions and suggests a higher cost of borrowing in the U.S. market. These developments coincide with a rising likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September, now priced at 64% likelihood by money markets. The increase in yields and the perceived probability of a rate hike indicate market expectations of a tighter monetary policy path.
