Treasury 10Y Yield Trying To Reach 3% (Freddie Mac 30Y Commitment Rate Up To 4.47%, Highest Since Dec ’13)

Only two months ago, the prospect of 10-year Treasury yields reaching 3 percent was an almost certainty after a relentless climb from 2.4 percent at the start of the year. But a retreat ensued, sending them as low as 2.72 percent in early April, only to reverse course again this week. The 10-year yield breached 2.9 percent on Thursday, the highest in eight weeks.

“Down boy.”
