U.S. oil prices hit $100 per barrel, a move markets linked to renewed inflation risk and higher Treasury yields.

Treasury yields rose on Thursday, with the 10-year note pushing above 4.9%, the highest level seen since 2023, CNBC Markets reported.

The yield increase came as U.S. oil prices surged to around $100 per barrel, raising concerns that higher energy costs could feed back into inflation expectations.

Investors typically watch the 10-year yield as a benchmark for longer-term borrowing costs, and the move reflected a repricing of rate expectations tied to the oil-driven inflation narrative.
