# US long-term Treasury yields climb past 5% amid economic uncertainty

Historic yield levels: The 30-year Treasury yield has risen above 5%, a level not seen since 2007, amid inflation fears and geopolitical tensions. Fiscal strain risk: A watchdog warns interest costs could reach 30% of federal revenue by 2036 if yields remain elevated, crowding out other spending. Diverging market views: Some analysts see the rise as healthy recalibration, while others warn of potential stock market pullbacks and fiscal instability.
