The 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds have crashed by 60% since 2020, erasing nearly 20 years of gains due to rising yields and massive government debt issuance. The yield on these bonds has surged from a low of 0.71% in March 2020 to over 5.5%, making older bonds with lower coupons far less valuable. This decline impacts pension funds, insurers, and retirees holding long-term bonds, while new buyers benefit from higher yields. The trend is driven by supply-demand imbalances, inflation pressures, and the Federal Reserve's stance, with upcoming Treasury refunding decisions and economic data expected to influence future bond prices and mortgage rates.
