Bond yields climb, borrowing costs up

Heather Long highlights that the bond market is showing signs of strain.

She notes the 30-year yield has remained above 5 percent for its longest period since 2007, while the 10-year yield is also at notably high levels in recent years. This situation is contributing to higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government and for consumers.

Long has covered other economic pressures recently. She reported that job openings climbed to a two-year high at 7.6 million in May 2026. Earlier, she noted that Americans saw grocery prices jump over 25 percent in the past five years. These developments come as consumers and businesses face increased borrowing costs.
