October 13 Market Update: Why Bond Yields Just Hit a 24-Year High

Your Weekly Market Update

Bond yields climbed to their highest level since 2002 last week, with the 10-year Treasury yield reaching a 24-year high.

Stubborn inflation, higher oil prices, heavy government borrowing, and demand for capital to build out AI infrastructure are all pushing it up. For investors who rely on their portfolio for income, that can be good news.

In this Market Update, Jamie French also covers last week's brief tech selloff and the busy weeks ahead for earnings, inflation data, the Fed, and the midterms, with a reminder to keep your financial planning goals and portfolio allocation aligned.
