The Weekly Bottom Line: Economic Resilience on Full Display in Third Quarter
Longer-term Treasury yields continued to creep higher through the early portion of the week, as the looming threat of a mid-November government shutdown, increased Treasury issuance, and heightened geopolitical tensions remain key drivers pressuring the term-premia higher. After briefly surpassing 5% earlier this week, the 10-Year Treasury yield has since pared its gains and currently sits at a still elevated 4.85%. Meanwhile, equities edged lower for the second straight week – down 2% at the time of writing – but remain 8% higher on the year.
