5% is the red line for Treasury yields to contaminate Wall Street

Jornal de Negócios9 September 2026 at 10:00

US Treasury bond yields have been registering a strong rise, particularly at longer maturities, such as the 10 and 30-year tenors. This upward movement in interest rates represents a growing concern for financial markets.

Analysts identify the 5% threshold as a critical red line. When Treasury yields reach this level, the risk of contagion to Wall Street increases significantly, affecting financing conditions and the relative attractiveness of investments.

The rise in yields reflects concerns about monetary policy and economic prospects in the United States. Higher interest rates on US government bonds tend to increase the cost of credit and alter investor behavior.

If this upward movement in yields continues or intensifies, Wall Street could begin to feel negative impacts, with potential deterioration of equity markets and increased volatility.

Canada says it keeps the door open to trade dialogue with the United States

United States to Ban Import of Canadian Dairy Products and Alcoholic Beverages

The United States will ban the import of dairy products and most Canadian alcoholic beverages starting June 29, in a new escalation of the trade war between the two countries. The measure comes in response to retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on American products worth 27.6 billion Canadian dollars (approximately 17.2 billion euros), with rates between 15% and 50%, which took effect this Tuesday. This trade dispute follows the failure of negotiations between Washington and Ottawa in August. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused the Trump administration of seeking an economically dependent relationship, while Trump also announced the exclusion of Canadian products from government procurement programs worth more than 50 billion dollars per year, increasing pressure on the USMCA trade agreement.

European natural gas reaches highest price since January 2023

European natural gas reached, in August 2023, the highest price since January 2023, traded near 75 euros per megawatt hour, driven by operators' demand to increase reserves before winter and the continuation of the conflict in the Middle East. EU reserves were at 65% at the beginning of September, the lowest level in 15 years, below the seasonal average of 80%, with Germany holding only half of its storage capacity. Europe is raising prices to compete with Asia for liquefied natural gas, in a market with limited flexibility to absorb supply or demand shocks. Despite some favorable factors, such as the structural reduction in demand and the possibility of a warmer winter due to the El Niño storm, alerts indicate that the situation may worsen if an extreme cold wave occurs.
