Line chart of the United States 30-year Treasury yield daily close from September 8 to October 7, 2026.

The long-bond yield rose in nine of eleven sessions, with no single day moving it by more than 10 basis points. That gradual pace is the kind of loss behavioural research says investors tend to overlook, because small steady changes do not register the way one large drop does. The Federal Reserve raised its policy rate on September 16, and the yield closed lower the next day before climbing again.
