US 30-year Treasury yields hit their highest since 2007, and the Treasury's buyback measure only held for about one day. The article links this to higher US mortgage rates (6.67% on a 30-year loan, up from about 6% earlier this year) and to costlier car and business loans in the US. For a Thai SME this is mostly background: it matters if you export to or borrow in the US, or if oil stays above $93 Brent, which feeds fuel and inflation costs at home. No Thai rate or baht action is needed yet.
