30-Year Treasury Repricing Begins as PGIM Sees Yields Climbing Beyond 5%

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 9

Summary

  • 5% on the 30-year US Treasury is no longer the ceiling investors should anchor to, PGIM’s Gregory Peters said, arguing a broader repricing of long-dated bonds has just started.
  • 5.5% could soon look “quite good” for the long bond, he said, with yields on both Treasuries and 30-year corporate debt expected to move substantially higher.
  • That shift reflects investors reassessing what counts as an attractive entry level after the 30-year Treasury yield pushed back above 5%, a threshold that had carried strong psychological weight.
