10-Year Treasury Yield Slips to 4.649% as Oil Decline Cools Inflation Worries

On August 25, 2026, the 10-year Treasury yield fell 5.55 basis points to 4.649%, Reuters reported — dipping below 2026's May 29 high of 4.668%. AP linked the drop to falling oil prices easing the inflation concerns that had lifted yields all summer. Lower yields typically translate into cheaper mortgages and other borrowing costs for consumers.
