MarketsFN Data Team
The 10-year Treasury yield settled at 5.19%, down 8 bps for the week, while the 2Y-10Y spread widened to 33 bps, signaling a modestly steeper curve.
The 10-year yield declined 8 bps this week to 5.19%, remaining above its 3-month (4.85%) and 1-year (4.41%) averages. It sits 100 bps higher year-to-date but below its 52-week high of 5.31%, reflecting persistent inflation and Fed policy pressures despite the weekly dip.
The 2Y-10Y spread widened 18 bps this week to 33 bps, maintaining a positive slope. While still narrow historically (52-week high: 74 bps), the steepening suggests reduced near-term recession fears, though prolonged inversion risks linger if Fed hikes exceed expectations.
Markets will watch September retail sales and industrial production data, along with Fed speakers’ tone on inflation, to gauge whether yields retest recent highs or extend the pullback.
