Treasury yields fall as investors look ahead to the Fed's interest rate decision

In this article

U.S. Treasury yields were lower at the start of the week as investors looked ahead to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and continued to monitor geopolitical and trade uncertainty.

At 5:55 a.m. ET, the 10-year Treasury yield was down by nearly 3 points to 4.211%, and the 2-year Treasury note yield was down over 1 basis point to 3.59%. The 30-year Treasury yield was also 2 basis points lower at 4.809%.

One basis point equals 0.01%, and yields move inversely to prices.

The big event this week will be the Fed’s interest rate decision due on Wednesday afternoon. It marks the central bank’s first policy decision of the year.
