Here’s an English response summarizing the current state and key drivers of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield:

Current 10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield (as of May 13, 2025)

Recent Levels: The 10-year yield approached 4.45%, hitting a one-month high of 4.447% on May 12 before rising further to 4.463% (as of 3:45 PM ET on May 13).

Market Moves: The yield climbed 8 basis points (bps) on May 13, following a 6 bps increase the prior day, amid heightened trading volume in Treasury futures.

Key Drivers of the Rise

Risk-On Sentiment

Optimism over a temporary tariff reduction deal fueled a rally in U.S. equities (S&P 500 +3.3%, Nasdaq 100 +4%), reducing demand for safe-haven Treasuries.

Investors rotated into riskier assets, pushing yields higher as bond prices fell.

New Bond Supply Pressure

A surge in corporate debt issuance increased overall supply in the bond market, contributing to upward pressure on yields.

Technical Factors

Short-term yields rose ~10 bps, while long-term yields gained ~5 bps, narrowing the yield curve (e.g., 2s10s spread at 46.5 bps).

Medium-Term Risks: Potential fiscal measures (e.g., tax cuts) or shifts in the U.S. dollar’s reserve currency status could heighten long-term inflation expectations, further lifting yields.
