Treasury yields edge higher as markets weigh Trump tariff escalation

U.S. Treasury yields ticked up Tuesday as investors parsed the latest twists in President Donald Trump’s tariff policy following a Supreme Court setback, while also bracing for his State of the Union address later in the day.

Trump is set to address Congress Tuesday evening for the customary State of the Union speech, his second since returning to the White House 13 months ago.

The 10-year Treasury

yield was up around 1 basis point at 4.042%. The 30-year Treasury bond yield was less than 1 basis point higher at 4.704%. The 2-year Treasury note added almost 2 basis points to 3.457%.

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