Recent strong U.S. employment data, including August nonfarm payrolls rising 162,000 versus expectations of 56,000, has lifted the 5-year Treasury yield to 4.55% as of September 4, 2026. Persistent core inflation above the Fed’s 2% target, combined with fiscal deficits near 6% of GDP and competition for capital from AI infrastructure spending, has elevated term premiums and reduced the safety premium on Treasuries. Markets now imply a higher probability of policy tightening at the September 15–16 FOMC meeting, with upcoming August CPI and PPI releases on September 10–11 serving as key near-term catalysts. These dynamics, alongside labor market resilience, continue to anchor trader focus on upside risks to yields through year-end.
