图片来源：PATRICK SEMANSKY/ASSOCIATED PRESS 10年期美国国债收益率突破5%，这一构成从房贷到学生贷款等借贷成本基础的基准利率继续大幅攀升。 在2020年初疫情最严重的时候，收益率一度跌至略高于0.5%。债券收益率与债券价格反向而动。 此后，随着美联储加息以抑制通胀，并缩减之前的债券购买计划，加上美国政府的借贷需求激增，债券收益率出现反弹。 如果抛售持续到今日结束，将是自2007年7月以来10年期美国国债收益率首次收于5%上方。 Copyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The 0.1 percentage-point cut to one of the rates, the five-year loan prime rate, to 4.2% was less than many investors were expecting.
