The 30-year Treasury yield rose as high as 5.286% this morning, its highest level since Aug. 18.
That peak last month was what prompted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to intervene in the bond market the following day. The move pushed yields, which had stood at 5.265% right before the announcement, lower.
But the effects of that intervention proved short-lived, with the 30-year yield climbing back up to just under 5.26% in recent trading.

EIA expects Brent crude spot prices to remain at $100 per barrel for the rest of the year and raises the average price forecasts for this year and next.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its forecast for average Brent crude oil prices in 2026 and 2027 to $97 and $86, respectively, reflecting pressures from global inventory declines, Middle East supply disruptions, and rising transportation costs. As oil production in the Middle East gradually recovers and global inventories rebound from low levels, the EIA expects the average spot price of Brent crude to fall to $87 per barrel in the second quarter of 2027, and further decline to $77 per barrel by the fourth quarter.
