Treasury yields hit 16-year high

 

 A Treasuries rout extended on Wednesday, with yields for five-year maturities and beyond striking highs not seen in 16 years, as markets brace for strong US jobs to herald higher rates.  Ten-year Treasury yields rose 4.8 basis points (bps) to 4.8503%, the highest since 2007. Five-year and 30-year yields also climbed to 16-year highs.
