The US 10-year Treasury yield has reached a new high for the current administration, confirmed to be driven by government deficit concerns, AI-driven growth, and geopolitical pressures. A hedge fund manager claims that aggressive housing policy shifts could necessitate massive fiscal spending, potentially driving long-term Treasury yields toward 10%, though this remains a speculative forecast.
