Pimco warns: 10-year US Treasury yield may hit 6%, for the first time since 2000
PIMCO's Chief Investment Officer stated that due to high oil prices intensifying inflation concerns and market unease over the growing U.S. public debt, the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield could rise to 6% for the first time since 2000.
Jitong Finance APP reports that Dan Ivascyn, Chief Investment Officer of bond fund management company PIMCO, stated that due to high oil prices intensifying inflation concerns and market unease over the continually expanding US public debt, the benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield may rise to 6% for the first time since 2000.
The US Treasury yield is the benchmark for global borrowing costs and asset prices. The 10-year US Treasury yield has risen nearly 120 basis points this year, and is currently just below last week’s peak of 5.34%, which was the highest level since 2002.
Ivascyn said on Friday that a sharp rise from the current level of 5.29% is “feasible” in the short term, citing factors such as hedge funds closing out losing bond positions.
“From a short-term trading perspective, this is certainly possible, because some of the activities we have seen in recent weeks are related to negative technical factors, and to stop-loss exits by platform hedge funds and other leveraged investors. You could certainly reach that level,” he said.
He also said that if US Treasury yields rise further, it might drag down risk assets such as stocks and corporate bonds; if yields climb to 5.5% or higher, it could lead to “significant weakness in risk markets like credit and equities.”
Global bonds have come under heavy selling pressure this year, with soaring energy costs pushing up inflation and the AI boom boosting economic growth, prompting investors to position for higher rates to persist for a longer period. Bond yields move inversely to prices, rising when prices fall. Global bond yields have surged, and during the three months to September, the 10-year US Treasury yield recorded its largest quarterly increase this century.

TSMC's Q3 Revenue Represents a Slightly Larger-Than-Typical Beat, Wedbush Says
10:36 AM EDT, 10/09/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's (TSM) Q3 revenue of NT$1.494 trillion ($46.77 billion) represented a roughly 3% beat versus the brokerage's prior estimate and consensus, compared with a 1% beat in the previous quarter, Wedbush said in a Friday note. With revenue ahead of the range, Wedbush expects the quarterly gross margin to at least meet the 66% midpoint of TSMC's 65% to 67% guidance and is more likely to exceed its 66.0% estimate given better utilization rates, according to the research note. Looking ahead, Wedbush expects Q4 sales of NT$1.599 trillion and sales growth of 41% in US dollars or 43% in Taiwanese dollars. Additionally, its gross margin estimate of 65.3% sits below the consensus estimate of 66.1%, with Wedbush saying it would not be surprised if Q4 gross-margin guidance ticks modestly lower on account of headwinds the chipmaker has previously mentioned. Wedbush maintained its outperform rating with an NT$3,000 price target. Price: 453.01, Change: -4.98, Percent Change: -1.09
