what happened
According to Reuters, the 10-year Treasury yield slipped 0.6 basis point to 5.111%, after touching 5.081% earlier in the day. Bonds gained as worries grew that higher borrowing costs could hurt AI infrastructure firms such as CoreWeave. Weakness in those shares pulled equity indexes lower and drew money into government debt as a safe haven.
Yields rebounded from their lows after a $13 billion auction of 20-year bonds. Demand was 2.73 times the amount on offer, but the 5.469% high yield came in above the bidding deadline. Treasury sells $26 billion of 5-year TIPS on Thursday.
Markets now price only a 14.9% chance of a Fed rate hike at the October 28 meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
why it matters
The 10-year yield fell 14.6 basis points over the week, its biggest weekly drop in eight months. Inflation readings came in hotter than expected, yet investors keep shifting between stocks and Treasuries depending on sentiment toward AI shares.
