The 30-year Treasury yield briefly topped 4% for the first time since 2011 in the selloff unleashed by hotter-than-expected September inflation data.

The longest-maturity Treasury yield rose as much as 13.4 basis points to 4.009%, the highest level since August 2011. Shorter-maturity yields had bigger increases as traders priced in a more aggressive Federal Reserve policy response.
