0110-year Treasury yield hits highest level since 2007 as traders bet a Fed rate hike is coming
The 10-year Treasury yield peaked at 5.041% Tuesday morning, its highest intraday mark since July 2007, while the 30-year hit 5.401% and the 2-year reached 4.688%. A $13 billion 20-year auction drew 2.57 times demand versus a 2.73 average. Markets price nearly 100 basis points of hikes over 12 months; Bank of America economist Aditya Bhave forecast 75 basis points this year.
■Rising long-end yields tighten discount rates for rate-sensitive equities; watch whether the 10-year holds above 5% into the Fed decision, with weak auction demand as the next observable test.

Japan posted a fourth straight monthly trade deficit as August imports surged 28% on oil-driven costs, data released before the Bank of Japan's next rate decision showed.

What Risks Could Disrupt Capital Markets?4
04Who are the Houthis, the Iran-backed rebels threatening a key maritime passage?
The Saudi Civil Defense issued more early warning attack alerts in a single 24-hour period between September 14 and 15 than in any other such period since the Houthi blockade began in late July 2026. The Houthis have seized Red Sea islands and attacked Saudi targets, with Iran gaining leverage over the Bab al-Mandab strait. Brent crude has risen amid the shipping threat.
◆Rising Houthi maritime threat supports oil and freight rates; watch Bab al-Mandab transit volumes and Saudi export routes for any confirmed blockade or supply loss.
