U.S. 30-Year Treasury Yields Exceed 5% for 15 Consecutive Trading Days, Longest Streak Since 2007

According to Yonhap Infomax data, U.S. 30-year Treasury yields broke above 5% for a 15th consecutive trading day on July 27, marking the longest streak since 2007. Economists including Zhao Cliff, chief economist at CCB International in Hong Kong, project that sustained yields around 5% may become a "new normal" rather than a temporary phenomenon, as long-term rates increasingly reflect concerns over U.S. fiscal health following expansionary policies.

The current 5.1–5.2% level approaches upper forecasts, with further gains likely limited unless inflation accelerates significantly. Markets focus on this week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting, with consensus expecting no policy rate change.
