# 30-year Treasury yield hits highest level since 2007 amid bond rout

Yields hit milestone: The 30-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.13%, a 19-year high, after weak demand in debt auctions and hotter-than-expected inflation data. Inflation drivers: Energy shocks from the Iran conflict and no breakthrough in U.S.-China talks on oil transit routes stoked inflation pressures. Fed outlook shifts: Traders now see a greater chance of rate hikes by December, reversing earlier expectations for cuts.
