The 10-year yield on U.S. Treasurys inched higher on Wednesday as U.S. and Chinese officials reached an agreement on trade.

At 2.45 a.m. ET, the 10-year Treasury yield

was up by 1 basis point at 4.49%. The 2-year yield

added the same to arrive at 4.02%. The 30-year yield was also higher by a basis point to 4.95%.

One basis point equals 0.01%. Yields and prices move inversely in the bond market, meaning higher prices equal lower yields and vice versa.
