U.S. Treasury yields inched lower Monday as investors look ahead to key inflation data due this week which will offer fresh insights about the state of the U.S. economy.

At 6:00 a.m. ET, the 10-year Treasury yield was down over 2 basis points to 4.26%, and the 2-year Treasury yield was less than a basis point lower at 3.75%. The 30-year Treasury bond yield shed nearly 3 basis points to 4.82%.

One basis point is equal to 0.01% and yields and prices move in opposite directions.

Investors are expecting a busy week of economic data relations with key inflation prints out this week. The consumer price index, set to be released Tuesday morning, and the producer price index, out on Thursday, will be critical to shaping the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions at its September meeting.
