U.S. Treasury market volatility has climbed to historically elevated levels, according to a Sept. 28 report from BlockBeats. The MOVE Index, a widely watched gauge of Treasury volatility often described as the bond market’s version of the VIX, rose 19% last week. That marked its biggest weekly increase since “Liberation Day” in April 2025 and the third-largest one-week gain since the 2022 bear market.
At the same time, Treasury yields moved sharply higher. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 17 basis points over the week to 5.17%, its highest level since June 2007. The 30-year yield climbed 16 basis points and moved above 5.50% for the first time since June 2004. BlockBeats said current Treasury trading conditions are showing volatility close to crisis levels.
For comparison, during the week of March 17, 2023, the MOVE Index surged 29% after the U.S. banking crisis led to the successive failures of three regional banks.
