Australia Bond Yield Falls Below US Peer as Rate Paths Diverge Australia’s benchmark bond yield fell below its US counterpart for the first time in more than a year as expectations for monetary policy in the two nations diverge. The gap between Australian and US 10-year yields fell to minus two basis points in early Sydney trading on Friday, which would be its first negative close since August 2025. That came after the Treasury 10-year yield soared 14 basis points on Thursday.
