Understanding the Rise in 10-Year Treasury Yields

Concerns over the recent increase in the yield of 10-year treasuries center on whether it reflects true economic growth or underlying issues such as fiscal policy. The yield has climbed, leading many to question the Federal Reserve’s decisions and market perceptions of debt levels.
