Treasury Yields At Multi-Year Highs Ahead of Expected Fed Hike -- Market Talk

1546 ET - Treasury yields settle at new multi-year highs as markets price a Fed hike while facing an uncertain long-term outlook. Inflation expectations hover around 2.5%, as measured by one-year swap rates, according to LSEG, higher than the Fed's 2% target. That's up from below-target expectations in early August. A 20-year Treasury auction clears at the highest yield since 1986, shortly before the tenor was discontinued, and since it was reintroduced in 2020. Demand indicators in the sale come on the soft side. The 10-year yield rises 0.035 percentage point to 4.995%, the highest since July 2007. The two-year adds 0.028 points to 4.661%, highest since July 2024. (paulo.trevisani@wsj.com; @ptrevisani)
