Treasury yields nudge higher as investors monitor geopolitical uncertainty

In this article

U.S. Treasury yields inched higher on Thursday as investors monitored geopolitical uncertainty, with talks over Greenland and the possibility of a U.S. strike on Iran.

At 4:39 a.m. ET, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was less than 1 basis points higher at 4.143%. The yield on the 2-year Treasury was also barely higher at 3.52%. Meanwhile, the 30-year Treasury yield fell less than 1 basis points, trading at 4.793%.

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

Geopolitical risks have dominated headlines this week and investors are watching as Trump insists on taking ownership of Greenland — an autonomous region within the Kingdom of Denmark — claiming it’s central to U.S. national security.
