The US national debt is approaching $40 trillion, causing Treasury yields to reach their highest levels in decades, with 10-year notes at 4.683% and 30-year bonds at 5.216%. This rise in yields reflects investor demand for higher returns amid growing budget deficits and inflation concerns. Higher Treasury yields increase borrowing costs for consumers, affecting mortgage rates and other loans, while also raising government debt servicing expenses. The Congressional Budget Office projects that interest costs will exceed $1 trillion by 2026 and could reach $2.1 trillion by 2036, significantly impacting federal spending and the economy.
