Home Buyers Hit as Bond Rout Drives Rates Higher

Since the oil-price shock from President Donald Trump’s Iran war unleashed the biggest jump in inflation since 2023, bond prices have tumbled, pushing yields on some US government debt to the highest levels in nearly two decades. The rate on 10-year Treasuries, which sets the floor for mortgages, has climbed to around 4.6%, with traders saying 5% is within reach. Gennadiy Goldberg, Head of US Rates Strategy at TD Securities, joins to discuss rates breaking through key technical levels, what's really driving the selloff, and how the Fed should react.
