The yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury note rose above 5.31%, marking the highest level in 19 years, according to CNBC. Traders are closely monitoring the upcoming FOMC minutes expected later this week, which may provide further insight into monetary policy decisions.

MarketWatch reports that escalating concerns regarding inflation and an increase in debt supply are contributing to the bond selloff, resulting in higher government borrowing costs. Additionally, elevated bond yields are exerting upward pressure on mortgage and credit card rates, as noted by ABC News.
