Treasury Yields Spike After Intervention Fears
20 Aug
Summary
- 30-year Treasury bond yields are rising again today.
- Yields are still below recent highs before intervention.
- Crude oil prices also saw a notable increase.

Treasury bond yields experienced an increase today, with 30-year bond yields showing a notable uptick. This rise occurs despite the yields still being considerably lower than the highs observed earlier in the week. The previous surge in yields had prompted intervention from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The current upward movement in yields is happening concurrently with a jump in crude oil prices, suggesting potential interconnected market forces at play.
