10Y Yield Climbs to 4.49% as Curve Steepens Slightly
Fixed Income · Treasury Yields · Mid-Week Update

The 10-year Treasury yield rose 1 bp to 4.49% Tuesday, extending its weekly gain to 9 bps as the 2Y-10Y spread widened to 35 bps, signaling persistent but modest steepening.

The 10-year yield has risen 9 bps this week to 4.49%, hovering above its 3-month (4.424%) and 1-year (4.248%) averages. It remains below its 52-week high of 4.67% but is up 30 bps YTD, reflecting a gradual upward drift in longer-term rates amid shifting Fed expectations.

The 2Y-10Y spread widened 4 bps this week to +35 bps, maintaining a positive slope but well below its 52-week high of +74 bps. A non-inverted curve historically signals modest growth expectations, though the narrow spread suggests lingering caution about long-term economic momentum.

Markets await Friday's jobs report for June, with wage growth and payrolls data likely to sway yields. Fed speakers this week may also clarify rate-cut timing, while global bond moves could amplify domestic Treasury volatility.
