10-Year Treasury Yield Closed September at 5.3%

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 yield — the return investors require, which guides mortgage and government borrowing costs — reflects secondary-market trading. The test is whether October auctions hold near that level once quarter-end positioning fades.
