U.S. Treasuries face relentless selling: 10-year and 30-year yields both reach new highs in nearly 20 years
PANews reported on September 24, citing The Wall Street Journal, that ultra-long-dated bonds are under pressure as investors reassess the outlook for U.S. inflation, fiscal deficits, and long-term interest rates, further reinforcing the “higher long-term yields” trend across global bond markets. The U.S. Treasury market has seen a new wave of selling, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield extending its rise to the highest level since 2004. The U.S. 30-year Treasury yield at one point on Thursday approached 5.45%, renewing its highest level since 2004. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield at one point reached 5.14%, a new high since 2007. The rapid rise in yields reflects investors demanding greater compensation for long-term risk amid the risk of persistently widening U.S. fiscal deficits, rising government debt, and a potential resurgence in inflation. The core shift in the bond market is that investors are no longer focused solely on the Federal Reserve’s short-term policy rate, but are beginning to reprice long-term U.S. fiscal and inflation risks.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Bond yields and bond prices generally move in opposite directions; therefore, the reported U.S. Treasury sell-off corresponds to a rapid rise in yields. The key point is that investors are demanding greater compensation for the risks of holding long-term U.S. Treasuries.
Why it matters to readers
The rise in 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury yields to multi-year highs suggests increased market concern about long-term fiscal, government debt, and inflation risks.
Beginners can focus on whether long-end U.S. Treasury yields continue to rise, but the original text does not provide direct market reactions for stocks, Bitcoin, or Ethereum.
Risks and unknowns
The provided evidence does not include the original The Wall Street Journal report, so the relayed content cannot be independently verified.
The provided evidence does not include official or real-time market data sources, so the intraday highs and closing levels cannot be confirmed.
The original text states only “September 24” and “Thursday,” without specifying the year.
Whether U.S. fiscal deficits, government debt, and inflation risks directly caused this round of selling remains a market interpretation in the text.
