Have U.S. Treasury Yields Peaked? 4 Warning Signs Point to Further Surge

Published ・ Source Taiwan | 鉅亨網

U.S. Treasury yields have climbed to highs of more than 20 years, and 4 warning signs suggest that selling could trigger a chain reaction that pushes yields even higher. The signals are rising demand for interest-rate options hedges; increased hedging or Treasury-selling needs as AI companies issue large amounts of debt; a cycle of selling pressure as mortgage investors accelerate hedging; and demands for a higher term premium on long-dated Treasuries amid fiscal concerns.

Facts

  • The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has risen about 135 basis points in total to 5.23%, while the 30-year yield has climbed to 5.614%.
  • The cost of protection against a 200-basis-point rise in 10-year U.S. dollar swap rates over the next 3 months has climbed to 132 basis points.
  • 高盛 estimates that large cloud and AI companies could issue a record $420 billion in debt next year.
  • The spread between 10-year and 30-year Treasuries is about 37 basis points, reflecting the faster rise in 30-year yields.
  • The implied volatility of 1-month options on 10-year interest-rate swaps has risen to 21.4 basis points.
  • RBC BlueBay Asset Management portfolio manager Neil Sun said that large volumes of Treasury futures sell orders often appear after corporate bonds are priced.
  • Eris Innovations CEO Mike Riddle said 9 large mortgage transactions this month have already shown that investors are actively protecting their positions.
