Treasuries Fact

Ten-Year Yield Prints Highest Since April 2002, Then Eases

CNBC had the 10-year at 5.243 percent after a five-basis-point ease from a level last seen in April 2002. Yahoo had it at 5.24 after an earlier Thursday print of 5.3, a multidecade high on that account.

The 10-year Treasury yield breached a level last seen in April 2002, then eased five basis points to 5.243 percent, CNBC reported. [E1] April 2002 is the comparison date on that page; 5.243 percent is the level after the ease, not a peak CNBC printed.

Yahoo Finance had the 10-year, ticker ^TNX, at 5.24 percent after it climbed earlier Thursday to 5.3 percent, a new multidecade high on that account. [E2] Thursday is Yahoo's date. Five basis points added to 5.243 percent is 5.293 percent, matching Yahoo's 5.3 to one tenth, and Yahoo's 5.24 is CNBC's 5.243 taken to the hundredth. [E1][E2]

The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond also hit its highest in 24 years before dropping more than two basis points to 5.613 percent, on the same CNBC page. [E3] Twenty-four years before 2026 is 2002, the year CNBC used for the 10-year. [E1][E3] More than two basis points above 5.613 percent leaves that peak, which CNBC did not print, above 5.633 percent. [E3] Only CNBC carries the 30-year; only Yahoo names 5.3 percent as the 10-year tick. [E2][E3]
