30-Year Treasury Yield Reaches 4.699%, a 19-Year High

The 30-year Treasury yield rose 7.8 basis points to 4.699% on July 30, 2026 — its highest since 2007 — after the Fed held rates steady and Chair Kevin Warsh's July 29 press conference rattled markets. A basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point. The selloff began when yields jumped 11 basis points right after the Fed's decision.
