10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at 5.3% on Sept. 30

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.3% on Sept. 30, quarter-end, The New York Times reported, capping a September climb from below 5%. The rate, a reference for mortgages and government borrowing, reflects secondary-market pricing. I'll watch whether October auctions hold near that level once quarter-end positioning fades.
