Treasury yields hitting 5% may not break markets now — but the clock is ticking

The 10-year Treasury yield has reached its highest level since 2007, increasing borrowing costs. According to CNBC World, this rise may expose some of the financial system's weakest links.

The yield had reached a historic high of 4.04% before correcting to near 4.98%, a 0.5% decrease, as reported by FXStreet. This correction occurred ahead of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement.

The surge in Treasury yields is partly driven by the expected issuance of significant amounts of US bonds by major hyperscalers to fund large investments in Artificial Intelligence infrastructure. Goldman Sachs predicts that five major hyperscalers will issue around $250 billion in bonds in 2026 and $400 billion in 2027.
