Investors caught between yields, oil and Trump

• US 10-year Treasury yield creeps closer to 5%, highest in nearly three years.
• Treasury's debt buyback operation of $5.2 billion (out of a maximum $6 billion) failed to impress, with investors holding long-term bonds.
• A 30-year bond auction sold $22 billion in debt at 5.308%, the highest yield since 2001.
• US Producer Price Inflation rose the most in three months in August, spurring bets for a Fed rate hike (75% probability according to CME FedWatch Tool).
• President Trump's proposal for a $1.3 trillion 'Trump dividend' ($5,000 per adult citizen) if Republicans win the midterms is seen as stoking fiscal deficits and rattling bond investors.

The video discusses rising US Treasury yields, with the 10-year nearing 5% and 30-year bonds reaching a 25-year high, despite a disappointing Treasury debt buyback. Concerns are amplified by renewed inflation pressures and increased bets on a Fed rate hike. President Trump's proposed $1.3 trillion 'dividend' further rattles bond investors, raising fiscal deficit concerns.
