Treasury yields moved lower on Monday as easing tensions between the United States and Iran improved investor sentiment and pushed oil prices sharply lower, according to the report.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield fell more than three basis points, while the two-year and 30-year yields also declined. The report said the market reacted after the United States and Iran maintained a ceasefire for a third consecutive night, reducing immediate concerns over disruptions to global energy supplies.

Crude oil prices dropped significantly, with U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures falling more than 5% and Brent crude retreating from levels that had recently approached $100 per barrel.

According to the report, investors have now shifted their attention to the Federal Reserve's policy meeting later this week. Markets broadly expect policymakers to keep interest rates unchanged.

Traders are also awaiting key economic data, including the core Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, quarterly GDP figures and durable goods orders, for fresh clues about the direction of the U.S. economy.
