[
The 10-year yield traded at a high of 7.06% on the day, as crude oil prices were at its highest in four years. Yields opened at 7.04% and remained elevated around 7.06% for most of the session. They eased modestly after 3 pm as crude oil prices cooled, allowing yields to close lower at 7.01%.
Yields climbed following hawkish comments by the Federal Reserve.
“Bonds were already a pain point for traders, and oil above $120 per barrel is adding to it. Additionally, commentary from the Federal Reserve reinforces expectations of tighter global financial conditions,” said a bond trader from a primary dealership. Separately, money market rates shot up, with the weighted average call rate trading at 5.07% on Thursday versus 5.00% a week earlier. The firming up of yields comes amid shrinking surplus of banking liquidity.
