Treasury yields are already blowing up the CBO’s long-term forecasts, and experts who previously downplayed U.S. debt fears are now starting to worry
The 10-year Treasury yield topped 5% this past week, hitting the highest level since 2007 and blowing way past forecasts for borrowing costs over the next decade.
AI Summary
The 10‑year Treasury yield rose above 5% last week, reaching its highest level since 2007 and far exceeding the Congressional Budget Office’s long‑term borrowing‑cost forecasts. The CBO’s February outlook, produced before the Iran war raised oil prices and inflation expectations, had projected the benchmark yield at 4.1% for this year and 4.2% for 2027. These actual yields now surpass the agency’s predictions for the next decade.
