Treasuries Struggle Into June After First Monthly Loss in May
Traders have been caught by surprise by the sharp decline in U.S. government bonds since April–and this selloff has now persisted into June.
The 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields were both trading higher on the day at 4.441% and 4.972%, respectively. Higher yields mean someone somewhere is selling bonds. Yields are inversely correlated to bond prices.
The move in the 30-year has been more pronounced. It closed above 5.089% on May 21, breaking above a key 5% level that has been its cap for about two decades.
