Elevated oil prices tied to geopolitical tensions, resilient economic growth, and heavy Treasury issuance have lifted the term premium and real rate expectations, pushing yields to multi-year highs. Corporate borrowing for AI infrastructure has added competition for capital. Traders are monitoring upcoming CPI and employment data, along with any further Fed communications, for signs that could ease or sustain these pressures and influence the monthly low in yields.
