Ok, this is a little misleading. The value of a Treasury goes down when yields go up, so to be clear this is not measuring the value of a Treasury (which is a bad investment at the moment). Also, this is the relative change, not the absolute change. If a yield is 4% and it goes up by 2.5%, it become 4.1%, not 6.5%. I am just making the point that I see a trend that is in line with other commodity prices.
So on 12/13/23, the yield on a 10-year treasury was 3.96%. I will convert it to a number, 396. On 4/11/24, the yield is 4.54%, or 454. So it has gone up 14.6% in 5 months, or about 2.77% per month. Will this continue? Probably not, but it is a trend I am seeing at the moment.
