United States Treasury yields grew on Friday after US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs came into effect yesterday, with one-kilo gold bars also reportedly being subjected to trade duties. Investors also weighed reports of Washington and Moscow working on a potential peace agreement for Ukraine, which would allow Russia to cement its hold on the entire Donbass and Crimea regions, and force Ukraine to withdraw from the Lugansk and Donetsk regions.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond rose by 2.4 basis points to 4.283% at 10:40 am ET, while the return on the 30-year note jumped by 4.4 basis points to 4.856% at the same time. Meanwhile, the return on the two-year bond climbed by 3.1 basis points to 3.767% at 10:41 am ET.
Bond futures for September, moving inversely to yields, showed a decline, with the two-year bond slipping by 0.06% at 11:00 am ET, the 10-year note simultaneously dipping by 0.14%, and the 30-year bond decreasing by 0.20% a minute later.
