30-Year Treasury Yield Hits Near Two-Decade High After Trump's Iran Threat

After Trump's "economic D-Day" vow against Iran, the 30-year Treasury yield exceeded 5.25 percent — near a two-decade high. Treasury Secretary Bessent doubled long-dated debt buybacks to $4 billion, but markets were not calmed. Analyst Frederic Schneider cited a "buyers' strike" since June, driven by the federal deficit, AI-related corporate borrowing, and oil-price inflation. US debt has surpassed $40 trillion.
