Published On Dec 27, 2024, 4:10 AM

The 10-year Treasury yield has risen above 4.6% following a mixed report on U.S. jobless claims. Although weekly jobless claims fell slightly below expectations, continuing claims climbed to their highest levels since November 2021. This increase in yields suggests that traders are anticipating a more aggressive stance from the Federal Reserve moving into 2025.
