The 10-Year Treasury Yield Is Near 5%. What It Means for Stocks, Gold, and More.

Bonds are supposed to be boring. But there is nothing dull about a 5% yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a psychologically significant level that the bond briefly touched in overnight trading. It is on the cusp of being breached in regular U.S. trading for the first time since 2007.The 10-year yield was down 0.05 percentage point on Friday, to 4.94%, after closing at 4.99% on Thursday then briefly ticking above 5% in overnight trading. The yield has climbed 1.

Yields elsewhere on the Treasury curve have also been rising lately, but the 10-year tends to get the most attention. The two-year Treasury note’s yield was 5.11% on Friday, while the 30-year bond yield hit 5.06%. Higher bond yields mean more competition for stocks as an attractive alternative in investors’ portfolios. They weigh most on the high-multiple shares of growth companies that are expected to generate more of their profits in the future, like many tech companies.
