Mark Zandi: Rising U.S. Treasury yields highlight economic policy challenges
U.S. Treasury yields and economic policy

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, examines the recent rise in the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield and its significance for the economy. He suggests that understanding the reasons behind higher yields is critical, as it offers insight into the potential economic consequences of increased rates and the suitable direction for monetary policy.

Zandi previously flagged a rising risk of Federal Reserve policy mistakes as markets anticipated further rate hikes despite 2% U.S. GDP growth, according to a recent report. He also argued that the Fed's latest rate hike was not supported by economic data and may have been intended to assert its independence, as detailed in an earlier analysis. These observations frame his cautious perspective on the implications of higher Treasury yields.
