According to CoinMeta, U.S. Treasury yields have risen due to increased debt, inflation, and an increase in the supply of bonds. In 2026, the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds exceeded 5.2%, reaching the highest level since 2007, while the yield on 10-year bonds remained around 4.7%. The rise in yields reflects an increase in government debt, ongoing concerns about inflation, and a weakening demand for long-term U.S. debt. The U.S. federal debt has surpassed $40 trillion, and the increasing deficit requires the Treasury Department to issue more bonds, thereby increasing the amount of government debt that investors must absorb. Inflation expectations lead investors to demand higher yields, and recent oil prices exceeding $90 per barrel due to geopolitical tensions have further exacerbated inflation concerns. As a benchmark for borrowing costs in financial markets, mortgage loan rates are sensitive to long-term bond yields; the yield on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages is around 6.7%. Higher Treasury yields put pressure on housing affordability and also increase the financing costs for businesses, which may affect investment and profitability.
