Traders awaited a $39 billion note sale as the benchmark yield hit 5.307% and Fed minutes were due later Wednesday.
- On Wednesday, the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.35%, its highest level since 2002, as investors sold government bonds ahead of a $39 billion auction and Federal Reserve minutes release.

- The 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.73%, also its highest since 2002, while French and U.K. government bond yields rose sharply as the global bond sell-off intensified.
- Traders are awaiting Federal Reserve FOMC minutes due at 2:00 p.m. ET, expecting the release to clarify the central bank's outlook on inflation and rates.
- Strategists have underestimated yield rises in nine straight monthly surveys this year, though median forecasts predict easing to 5.00% by year-end despite wavering conviction.
