US 30-year Treasury yields hit 5.20%, the highest since 2007; the 10-year at 4.58%, a 12-month high. Fed insider Nick Timiraos says cut talk is over; officials are now weighing hikes. April FOMC minutes show support for holding, but 3+ hawkish governors signal a tilt toward unwinding easing. Swap markets price 80%+ odds of at least one hike by year-end. Rising rates and dollar strength pressure gold and BTC. The market has shifted from "when to cut" to "whether to hike."
