The five-year Treasury yield rose 3.8 basis points to 1.392%, the highest level since February 20, 2020, while the 30-year yield rose toward the 200-day moving average.

Yields are rising along the curve for a second day in a row, after Monday’s massive sell-off lifted the 10-year yield by nearly 12 basis points, its worst start to the year since 2009. The instrument is yielding in two years above 0.80% for the first time since March 2020.

That move swept markets from Australia to the UK, where bond trading resumed after Monday’s holiday. Australian 10-year bond yields rose 15 basis points to 1.82%, the highest since November 26. UK yields for the same term rose 10 basis points to 1.07%, the highest since November 3.
