The US 10-year Treasury yield has hit 5%, its highest level since 2007, signaling a sharp tightening of financial conditions. This surge is driving up borrowing costs, pushing the average 30-year mortgage rate to 6.76% and raising concerns about the broader impact on consumer spending and stock valuations.

  • GN auto markets/bonds: debt markets notes that this 5% threshold was last firmly breached in 2007, marking a significant psychological level for global investors. The report highlights that the average 30-year mortgage rate has consequently climbed to 6.76%, up from 6.15% at the start of the year, directly impacting housing affordability.
