The US Treasury is auctioning $119 billion in long-term debt this week at yields not seen since 2002, with three auctions for three-year, ten-year, and thirty-year bonds. Rising yields reflect higher borrowing costs driven by persistent inflation and Federal Reserve rate hikes. Demand is uncertain, especially for longer maturities, as weak auctions could push yields higher and deepen losses for bond holders. Investors will watch closely for buyer participation, particularly from foreign central banks, to gauge market confidence and future bond price trends.
The US Treasury's plan to auction $119 billion in bonds at the highest yields since 2002 contrasts with the current trading of the TLT ETF on Pluang, which is priced near its 52-week low at USD 77.17 as of Oct 06, 2026 21:11 WIB. Despite the high yields, TLT has seen minimal price change today, up just 0.07%, and order activity on Pluang leans heavily towards selling at 85%. This suggests cautious sentiment among investors holding long-term US Treasury bonds amid rising borrowing costs.
