A September 25 report from 蓝鲸财经 (Blue Whale Finance) indicates that Wall Street and Washington are increasingly recognizing that the recent surge in US Treasury yields may represent a fundamental shift rather than a temporary downturn. Multiple factors are driving up US government borrowing costs, including oil prices at $100 per barrel, an artificial intelligence investment boom, and a record US budget deficit that has pushed national debt to $40 trillion. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve remains committed to curbing inflation that has exceeded its target for years. As a result, nearly all benchmark US Treasury yields are hovering around 5% or higher. The five-year Treasury yield on Wednesday exceeded 5% for the first time since 2007, suggesting that 5% yields could become the new normal or even a floor.
