“Since president Trump came in, The US has been the best performing bond market in the ten year space”
MISLEADING
What the record shows
US 10-year Treasury yields rose 119 basis points from Jan 2025 to Oct 2026 (4.13% to 5.32%), producing negative returns for bondholders. While yields rose faster in Japan (+145 bps) and other nations, the US market itself underperformed in absolute terms.
Rising yields mean falling bond prices and negative returns. US 10-year Treasuries underperformed in absolute terms despite outperforming some peers relatively.
