Why did the bond market experience a sudden sell‑off and Treasury yields spike above 5%?
Public dot com presents the rundown, your daily market update in ten minutes. My name is Zaydad Mani, and today is Thursday, September 24th. In today's episode we'll Breakdown why the bond market just had one of its worst days in a year and a half. We'll also recap Meta's big event, including new AR and VR glasses, and why Wall Street is so hyped about Mute. Then stick around to the end of the show to find out why news about a data center delay are sending Oracle shares lower. We got a great show for you today. Let's go. The stock market took a dip on Tuesday. The SP 500 fell 0.8%, while the Nasdaq fell by 1.1%. And it was basically because of the bond market. The bond market yesterday was making some wild moves.
The 10-year treasury yield jumped 15 basis points to 5.11%, which is its highest level since July of 2007. And the thing is, bond yields don't typically jump a tenth of a percent. Point in one day. But that's what happened yesterday. In fact, it was the biggest one day jump since the Liberation Day tariff chaos back in April of last year. So, you know, we've been talking about rising bond yields for weeks now, and it just continues to get worse. Yesterday, there were multiple factors that caused a sudden spike in yields. The first factor was a business survey that nobody usually cares about, but this time Wall Street became obsessed with it because it showed
What factors caused the 10‑year Treasury yield to jump 15 basis points to a 2007‑high?
The economy growing at its fastest pace in more than five years. Now, on one hand, that is great news, right? But it also means the Fed will likely keep hiking interest rates because the economy continues to grow so fast. In fact, Fed Governor Michael Barr literally said yesterday the Fed will probably need to raise rates further to get inflation back down to their two percent target. And that's why traders are now pricing in a roughly 70% chance. Of another quarter point hike at the October meeting. So those were a couple of reasons driving yields higher. But then in the afternoon came the part that I think really spooked the bond market. The Treasury Department held a $70 billion auction of five-year notes.
And the demand for that auction was pretty weak. Basically, the government tried to borrow money and investors weren't thrilled to lend it to them. So when you add all that up, that caused the bond market to kind of panic. Yesterday. And by the way, this isn't just happening here in the US. Bond yields are rising all over the world. The average yield on global government debt is now basically 4%, which is its highest level since 2007. So the bond market continues to tell us that the era of cheap money is over. And as you guys know, as yields keep moving higher, it's gonna have a ripple effect across the economy. It's gonna make mortgages more expensive. Expensive, corporate borrowing more expensive, and it's gonna impact stock valuations.
What new hardware did Meta unveil at Connect, and why did they remove cameras from the Ray‑Ban glasses?
And that's why I'm kind of surprised that stocks didn't take a bigger hit yesterday. I mean, yeah, I showed the NASDAQ was down more than 1%, which isn't great, but this was the worst day for government bonds in nearly a year and a half, and stocks didn't have a total meltdown. I think a part of that is equity investors don't wanna just abandon the AI trade. It's just too hot to ignore. But the question moving forward is how much longer can a market rally? Last if yields keep climbing. It's possible that stocks can keep going up even in a world of 5% yield, but I'm just a bit nervous that something could break. So we'll continue to keep an eye on the bond market and the stock market, along with everything else happening.
Remember, President Trump is meeting with Chinese President Qi today, so I'm sure there'll be some headlines coming out of that. We'll recap all that for you. So definitely get subscribed to the podcast if you haven't already, and tune in every day to stay in the loop. Let's run through some headlines. And we're talking meta again. I know we've talked a lot about meta this week, but I mean they are cooking right now. Meta just had their Meta Connect conference last night and they showed off a ton of cool stuff and announced some updates to Meta Muse.
