No source gives the 30-year Treasury yield for 2026-09-15 itself. Nearby figures bracket it: Treasury par yields were about 5.25–5.27% in early September, and Reuters reported 5.48% on September 24 as a multi-decade high, so 5.5% is plausible but not confirmed for the claim date. The extracted claim matches the post's own figure, so there is no extraction departure.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

Context. Treasury daily par yield data shows the 30-year at 5.27% on 09/01 and 5.25% on 09/03–09/08, about 0.25 points below the claimed 5.5%.[3]
Context. Reuters reported the 30-year yield touched 5.48% on September 24, its highest since 2004, which implies it was below that level earlier in September.[1]
Context. AP reported the 30-year at 5.55% on September 28, and later sources show 5.63% on September 30 and about 5.3% in late October, so the yield moved sharply within the month.[2][4][5][6]
Context. The claim's 5.5% figure is not addressed for September 15 by any source, so the claim cannot be graded directionally against that date.
