> Renewed inflation, higher energy costs and tighter immigration rules are reshaping expectations for U.S. interest rates and crypto markets.

U.S. inflation is rising again as the 10-year Treasury yield reached its highest level since 2007 last week, adding pressure to rate expectations and crypto market conditions.

Several forces are driving the renewed price pressure. Tariffs are raising the cost of imported goods, while the war with Iran has pushed oil and diesel prices higher. Restrictions on immigration have reduced the available labor supply, while the AI investment boom is increasing demand for electricity and equipment.

The Federal Reserve has moved toward higher interest rates as inflation has accelerated. The increase in long-term yields also puts the administration’s initial economic strategy under strain: its team had expected fiscal restraint and regulatory changes to help lower long-term borrowing costs.

Instead, the 10-year yield is now well above its level at the start of the current presidential term. The shift leaves markets focused on how persistent inflation will affect future rate decisions and financial conditions.
