U.S. 30-year Treasury yield highest since 2007

Andrew Lokenauth reports that the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield has surged to 5.18 percent, marking its highest level in 19 years.

He notes that the last time yields were at this level was in 2007, just prior to the financial crisis. At that time, the U.S. national debt stood at $8.4 trillion, while it is now $39.4 trillion—almost five times higher, despite similar interest rates.

Lokenauth has previously reported that the U.S. government is adding $35 billion to the deficit weekly, with $22 billion of that spent on debt interest in 2026. In July, he also noted major layoffs announced by UPS, Oracle, Amazon, and others, totaling tens of thousands of job cuts across leading firms. These developments come amid persistent fiscal and labor pressures on the U.S. economy.
