The US Treasury market is experiencing rising risks as the term premium on 10-year Treasury notes climbs significantly, reflecting investors’ concerns over economic conditions and political factors. The term premium, which measures the extra yield for holding long-term debt instead of rolling over shorter-term securities, has increased to its highest level since last November. This increase is attributed to a combination of factors, including inflation pressures, a tight presidential race, and potential fiscal challenges, contributing to a bearish sentiment in the bond market.
