The yield has rallied higher over the past month amid surging oil prices stemming from a resumption of U.S.-Iran hostilities. The higher energy prices have fueled inflation concerns and expectations of rate hikes. Both factors have pressured Treasury prices while pushing long-term yields higher.

## **Interest Rate Expectations and Growing Debt Lift 30-Year Treasury Yield**

Higher interest rates keep long-term yields elevated because they raise borrowing costs across the economy. When short-term rates remain high, investors typically expect long-term rates to stay higher as well. Investors are currently pricing in at least one rate hike by year-end, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

Soaring government debt is likely contributing to a higher 30-year yield. Over the past year, the national debt pile has increased by 8% to $39.8 trillion. Rising debt can push yields higher as investors demand a greater return for the risk of inflation and increased Treasury supply.
