The yield on 30-year Treasury bonds has returned to above 5%, and PPI data has failed to ease inflation anxiety

Although the US PPI rose less than expected in December, inflation anxiety still hung over the market, and the 30-year US Treasury yield hit a new recent high above 5% on Tuesday. The 30-year yield broke through 5% for the second time since Friday, and the 10-year yield rose to 4.81%, both hitting their highest levels since November 2023. US bond yields have continued to rise in recent weeks, as the market fears that stubborn inflation may prompt the Federal Reserve to stop cutting interest rates. Short bond yields have recovered their losses after the PPI announcement and are basically flat from the previous day.
