Mumbai, May 18 -- U.S. Treasury yields spiked on Friday following a week of messy inflation data and as traders looked to price interest rate policy under new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh.

The yield on the 30-year bond jumped nearly 11 basis points to yield 5.12%, the highest since May 22, 2025 and nearing the highest since October 2023.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note - the main benchmark for U.S. borrowing - surged nearly 14 basis points to 4.59%. Meanwhile, the 2-year Treasury note yield which tends to react in line with short-term Fed rate decisions, was close to 9 bps higher at 4.07%.
