Thursday's selling has the 2-year yield at its highest level since the fourth quarter of 2009 as traders continue to price in a Fed rate hike at the upcoming meeting on December 13/14.
Elsewhere along the curve, selling at the long end has those yields at levels last seen in the middle of 2015.
A slightly steeper curve is in play with the 5-30-year spread wider at 120 bps.
And the selling isn't contained to just the United States. Yields are up across Europe with Germany's 10-year higher by 2.8 bps at 30 bpd and the UK 10-year up 4 bps at 1.453%. Even Japan's 10-year ticked up 0.8 bps, hitting 2.1 bps, its highest since February.
