The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield surpassed 5 percent during Monday trading, marking just the second time it has done so in the last 19 years.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 5.014 percent but has sunk to 4.961 percent as of mid-afternoon Monday, nearly 1 basis point above where it opened.

Monday marked the first time the 10-year bond yield touched 5 percent since October 2023, and just the second time it has done so since July 2007 — before the global financial crisis.

The 10-year bond yield is up 80-plus basis points from the start of this year and more than a full percentage point higher than where it stood at closing time the day before the U.S. and Israel launched the Iran war.

The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond, meanwhile, is down by nearly 2 basis points to less than 5.33 percent as of Monday........
