TRX Post claims record US interest costs and 5% as new floor for 10-year Treasury yield
A post on r/investing claims the US government paid more in interest on its debt than in any fiscal year on record and that the 10-year Treasury yield has flipped from 5% acting as a ceiling to acting as a floor. The post says higher yields make refinancing more expensive and that the cycle feeds itself without the Fed acting. It asks whether the 10-year will settle back below 5% by year-end or hold above it through 2026.
