How Is The Iran Conflict Affecting US Bond Markets

Treasury yields moved slightly higher on Monday as investors monitored the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran and assessed its potential impact on financial markets.

Reported by CNBC, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.558%, while the 30-year bond yield also edged higher. The two-year yield remained largely unchanged.

Tehran has accused the United States of striking civilian infrastructure and has responded with attacks across the Gulf. Kuwait said its air defense systems intercepted Iranian drones on Monday.

The report said Treasury yields had declined last week after softer inflation data and stronger-than-expected labor market figures eased investor concerns. Markets are now awaiting Friday's S&P Global Flash U.S. PMI report for fresh signals on the strength of the American economy.
