The U.S. Treasury Department has doubled its buybacks of longer-term bonds in an attempt to lower borrowing costs and yields, but the relief proved temporary. The 10-year Treasury yield quickly returned to its highest point in over a year, and the 30-year yield is also near multi-year highs. This situation is occurring amidst broader market concerns about inflation, which remains stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's target, and economic growth, which showed a sluggish pace in the second quarter. Investors are also closely watching upcoming inflation data and speeches from Federal Reserve officials. AI
