A massive sell-off in bond markets has over the past weeks pushed long US government bond yields to new highs. Economists at Danske Bank analyze the 10-year US Treasury yield outlook.
Yields not bound to remain high for long
The recent uptick in long-end UST yields reflects rising term premium, while risk-neutral rate expectations have remained stable.

Unfavourable supply-demand dynamics are likely to persist into Q4, but we still see improving demand driving yields lower, with 12M 10y forecast at 3.70%, though risk is tilted to the upside.
