Treasury yields rise as investors weigh escalating U.S.-Iran war

In this article

U.S. Treasury yields on Tuesday rose as investors continued to assess the ongoing war in the Middle East.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose almost 4 basis points to 4.09%. The 30-year Treasury bond added more than 2 basis points to a yield of 4.723%. The yield on the 2-year Treasury note was up over 4 basis points at 3.531%.

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

The U.S.-Iran war is intensifying as it enters its fourth day, with the American Embassy in Riyadh attacked Tuesday and President Donald Trump cautioning that the conflict may last far longer than the four weeks he initially projected.
