US 10-year yields reach 5%, highest since 2023

- On Monday, the 10-year Treasury yield hit 5%, a critical threshold not seen since 2007, significantly raising borrowing costs for Americans across mortgages and corporate debt markets.

- The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.76% last week, up from 6.15% at the year's start. This marks a stark shift from five years ago, when the 10-year yield traded at 1.3%.

- Ten-Year yields in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have reached levels not seen in over a decade, signaling what Luis Alvarado of Wells Fargo Investment Institute calls a "normal for longer" era.
