Treasury Yields Spike Concurrent with New CO₂ Record Around April 15, 2026
Mar 23, 2026 — Apr 22, 2026 May 17, 2026
Within a ~14-day window around April 15, 2026, two notable data points emerged concurrently. The 10-Year Treasury Yield reached 4.39%, sitting 2.8 standard deviations above its 60-point average of 4.17%. Alongside this, atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa hit a new record high of 431.12 ppm, surpassing the previous peak of 430.51 ppm. These measurements occurred within the same timeframe, though the precise sequencing of when each threshold was crossed remains to be determined. This represents a co-occurrence of two distinct data series reaching significant levels. Is this timing meaningful or coincidental? What other factors might investigators want to examine during this same period?
