According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Reuters, the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds reached its highest level since 2007 on August 18, at 5.327%. This change is due to increasing concerns about inflation, rising oil prices, and ongoing attention to federal borrowing. The rise in long-term Treasury bond rates will affect the borrowing costs in financial markets and may tighten financial conditions without further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. This pressure could impact risk assets such as stocks, corporate debt, and crypto assets. The official yield curve of the U.S. Treasury Department showed that on August 17, the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds was 5.30%.
