Long-Dated Treasury Yields Climb to Near 2007 Highs

The 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.33% intraday on August 18, 2026, per CNBC — near levels last seen in 2007. FRED data shows it climbing from 5.21% (Aug 13) to 5.25% (Aug 14). The 10-year note rose to 4.75% (Trading Economics). Higher yields mean costlier mortgages, corporate debt, and pressure on stock valuations.
