The 30-year Treasury yield has spiked to 5.63%, a 24-year high, creating a stark contrast with the equity market's rally on cooling PCE inflation. This move is primarily driven by the Treasury's plan to execute a $6 billion long-bond buyback, which is increasing supply pressure on the long end of the curve. The Federal Reserve's simultaneous finalization of stress test changes aims to stabilize bank capital requirements, but the bond market's rejection of lower long-term rates signals deep concerns about fiscal sustainability and term premia.
