- 10-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level since January 2025, driven by $100 oil reigniting inflation fears, per Yahoo Finance and WSJ headlines.
- CNN framed the bond market selloff as 'the world's most important market' flashing red about the Iran war, per its headline.
Why it matters: Surging 10-year yields feed directly into higher mortgage rates and consumer borrowing costs — the WSJ headline explicitly flags this consumer impact.
