What the sources claim

The 2-year Treasury yield rose even after odds of October rate hikes dropped and a bad NFP report was released.
“Short end of curve 2-yield yield, the one most sensitive to Feds rate change policy, still rose even after odds of October rate hikes dropped, even after bad NFP report today.”

Longer-term Treasury yields remained elevated because investors expect inflation to stay high without a rate hike, increasing the risk of holding longer-dated bonds.
“I understand why the longer yields kept elevated as without a rate hike, investors into treasuries expect inflation to remain elevated, increasing risk of holding longer dated bonds.”

Smaller banks are facing declining value of their bond assets relative to deposits and reduced loan applications due to higher rates.
“Feel sorry for the smaller banks, who’s holding of bond assets are dropping in value compared to their value of deposits. And making loans at higher rates are hurting their business as I’m sure loan applications have dropped.”
