The thirty-year Treasury yield reflects very long-run expectations and compensation for duration, inflation and supply risk.
THE MECHANISM

It is important for pensions, insurers, long-duration liabilities and mortgage-related markets.

Moves at the long end can reveal pressures that are less visible in short-term policy pricing.
BONDSTATS TAKEAWAY
