The 30-year Treasury yield breaks above 5.60%, the highest since June 2002.

This month, it has risen by about 36 basis points, continuing to climb for six straight trading days.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is currently around 6.95%, at its highest level since January 2025, and is edging toward 7%.

There is still some distance to 8%, but there are no signs that the upward trend has stopped.
