AI IMPACT: LONG TERM YIELDS 10-Year Commonwealth Government Treasury Yield, year-end

Baseline:

• Long yields drift gradually lower, easing from around 5% toward 4.3% by 2030 as inflation returns to target and the cash rate normalises. • Yields settle roughly 70 basis points above the cash rate, a normal gap by historical standards, reflecting steady government debt issuance that markets absorb without stress. • The decline is slow as solid investment demand across the economy keeps yields from falling much further, so there is no return to the ultra-low rates of the 2010s.
