US 30-Year Treasury Yield Tops 5.1%; Auction Clears Above 5% First Time Since 2007
U.S. Treasury yields extended their selloff on May 15, with the 30-year yield rising above 5.1%, its highest level in the last 12 months, and the 10-year note yield climbing to 4.59%, the highest since May 22, 2025. A $25 billion auction of 30-year Treasuries was awarded at 5.046%, the first time since 2007 that a 30-year U.S. bond sale cleared above 5%.
The move built on an earlier bond selloff that had already lifted the 30-year yield to 5.056%, a 10-month high, while the 10-year reached 4.512% and the two-year rose above 4%. The latest advance leaves the 10-year on track for its largest weekly increase since April 2025 and extends a broader global bond selloff that intensified after firmer U.S. producer-price data and rising long-dated Japanese government-bond yields.
