Yields Flash a Warning

Rising Treasury yields show how "enormously worried" the market is about inflation and whether the Fed will back up its tough talk with action — a signal being read as aimed squarely at Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Goldman has previewed Warsh's newly formed Task Forces for Advancing Monetary Policy.

Mortgage and refinance rates rose further over the past week, while top CD rates were still offering up to 4.20% APY — a snapshot of the elevated-rate environment underlying the Treasury market's concerns.
