US 10-year Treasury yields surpass 5% amid inflation concerns

US 10-year Treasury yields climbed above 5% as inflation concerns intensified, a threshold not seen since 2007. The move raises borrowing costs across mortgages, corporate debt and consumer credit, and threatens bond market stability while pressuring rate-sensitive assets including equities and crypto. Persistent inflation is driving expectations that central banks will keep policy tighter for longer. Investors will watch upcoming inflation prints and Federal Reserve commentary for signs of whether yields stabilize or extend higher.
