The latest sharp selloff in U.S. Treasuries may be far from over.
A combination of stubborn inflation, shifting expectations about interest rates, and changes in investor behavior could keep pressure on bond prices and drive yields even higher in the weeks ahead, analysts said.
On Tuesday, the benchmark 10-year yield climbed to its highest level since January last year and was last at 4.671% US10YT=RR. U.S. 30-year yields, on the other hand, jumped to a level not seen since June 2007, and last changed hands at 5.178%.
