Yield shock: 30-year US Treasury note sees largest weekly jump since 1981

The U.S. 30-year Treasury note yield increased by 56 basis points, reaching 4.892%, the largest jump since 1981. This surge reflects heightened volatility in response to trade issues, leading investors to shift from stocks to bonds.

As bond yields rise, investors face increased borrowing costs. The Federal Reserve may intervene through quantitative easing to stabilize the market, as market participants adapt to the changing economic landscape.
