US 10-Year Yield Rises to Highest Since '07, Trump Says AI Fears a 'Hoax'
The US 10-year Treasury yield has climbed above 5%, reaching its highest level since 2007 as global bonds sell off, while President Trump called fears about artificial intelligence a “hoax.” The move leaves rate-sensitive assets exposed, although JPMorgan Asset Management’s Priya Misra said the bond selloff may be nearing its end and pointed to upcoming market catalysts.
Bloomberg Television reported that the US 10-year Treasury yield rose above 5%, its highest level since 2007, during a broader selloff in global bonds. The report also covered falling Asian stocks, weaker European markets and retreats in US equities as investors absorbed the rise in borrowing costs. President Trump separately dismissed concerns about the dangers posed by artificial intelligence as a “hoax.”
Priya Misra of JPMorgan Asset Management said the rate move may be approaching its end and discussed catalysts that could shape markets from here. Bloomberg did not identify those catalysts in the available excerpt or establish whether the yield increase was driven primarily by inflation expectations, fiscal concerns, economic data or changes in central-bank policy expectations.
The direct company link in the report is JPMorgan Asset Management, whose parent JPMorgan Chase reported $182.4 billion of fiscal-2025 revenue, up 2.8% year over year, and a 31.2% net margin. Higher yields can support reinvestment income for banks, but the concurrent equity retreat and tighter financial conditions can weigh on capital-markets activity, credit demand and asset valuations.
The reporting does not establish that the 10-year yield has reached a durable peak. Misra’s view that the move may be nearing its end is a qualified assessment, while Bloomberg did not report a specific target for yields or a dated event that would settle the rates outlook. The next decisive evidence will come from forthcoming US inflation, labor-market and Treasury-supply developments, alongside Federal Reserve communication.
JPM is caught between stronger reinvestment income from higher yields and the broader valuation and activity drag from tighter financial conditions.
The immediate read is mixed for JPM: elevated Treasury yields can improve reinvestment economics, but a bond and equity selloff can pressure asset values, capital-markets activity and credit demand. Misra’s warning that the rate move may be nearing its end limits the case for treating the yield spike as a clean, durable tailwind.
A sustained rise in long-term yields alongside weaker equities and tighter credit would turn the reinvestment benefit into a broader earnings and valuation headwind.

JPM’s fiscal-2025 revenue was $182.4 billion with a 31.2% net margin, giving the bank a substantial earnings base that can benefit from higher reinvestment yields.
The strongest opposing case is that a global bond selloff and retreating stocks weaken capital-markets activity and asset values, while the report offers no evidence that higher yields will persist.
