The U.S. Treasury yields moved lower on Tuesday as investors prepared for the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting and reassessed expectations for inflation and future interest rate increases.

The decline followed the announcement of a provisional peace framework between the United States and Iran, which could extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping.

According to the report, easing tensions in the Middle East have reduced concerns about prolonged energy price shocks and inflationary pressures.

President Donald Trump said at the G7 summit that the agreement framework has been completed and that the Strait of Hormuz is expected to fully reopen following a formal signing ceremony later this week.

Investors are also closely watching the Federal Reserve’s first policy meeting under Chairman Kevin Warsh. The report said markets broadly expect the central bank to leave interest rates unchanged.

According to UBS Global Wealth Management, a lasting resolution to the Middle East conflict could reduce pressure on central banks to tighten policy further. Housing and retail sales data due this week are also expected to influence market sentiment.
