US 30-Year Yield Stays Above 5% for 27 Days, Longest Stretch Since 2007

Summary
The US 30-year Treasury yield has traded above 5% for 27 sessions this year, marking its longest run over that threshold since 2007.
That persistence reflects investor concern over a growing US debt pile and inflation that remains sticky enough to keep long-term borrowing costs elevated.
The 27 days above 5% equal about 19% of all trading sessions so far in 2026, underscoring how unusually sustained the move has become.
The last comparable episode was in 2007, when the 30-year yield spent 50 days above 5% as the financial crisis was beginning to unfold.
