Treasury yields jumped on Tuesday to begin September trading as a court decision knocking down most of the Trump administration’s tariffs raised the prospect of the government having to repay the money already brought in, stretching an already-stressed U.S. fiscal situation.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose more than 6 basis points to 4.287%. The 30-year bond

yield climbed over 6 basis points to 4.978%. The 2-year Treasury

yield moved nearly 3 basis points higher to 3.652%. One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.
