US Treasury yields edged lower Tuesday as investors awaited fresh comments from Federal Reserve officials for clues about inflation and the economy.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield fell more than one basis point to 4.951%, while the two-year yield declined to 4.741%. The 30-year yield slipped to 5.288%.
Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson was scheduled to speak at a New York Fed Treasury conference, followed Wednesday by Fed Governor Michael Barr at a housing affordability event.
Oil markets were also in focus. Brent crude fell about 1% and West Texas Intermediate dropped 2% following reports that Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days.
The developments come as Washington increases pressure on Tehran and President Donald Trump attends the UN General Assembly.
