What happened

Claim 1: “the 10-year Treasury yield to 5.208% on Thursday — the highest it's been since June 2007”
DISPUTED
The claim states the yield reached 5.208% on Thursday. However, the provided evidence from a Reuters report states the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.1497% on Thursday. Other search results show yields at 5.52% or potentially higher (5.8%-6.3%), creating a contradiction in the specific numerical value for that day.
