U.S. Treasury yields pressed multi-decade / ~24-year highs into the open of the fourth quarter as stock index futures stayed mixed, according to desk wraps from FXStreet, Reuters, and Morningstar / Dow Jones (Oct. 1, 2026). The 10-year yield touched roughly 5.33–5.34% (highest since ~2002 in several reads) before easing toward about 5.27–5.29% in some snapshots; the 30-year topped near 5.65–5.67%.
Reuters (LSEG data) said the 10-year rose 87.1 basis points over the September quarter — the sharpest quarterly rise since 1994. Premarket: Dow futures soft (~−0.4% near 51,060 in one FXStreet European-hours read); S&P futures modestly up; Nasdaq futures stronger (~+0.5%). Wednesday cash: Dow −0.86%, S&P −0.25%, Nasdaq +0.24%. Friday’s jobs report is next on the calendar.
