The yield on US Treasury bonds continued to rise, as risk appetite rebounded and stocks rose, weakening demand for safe-haven assets. Better-than-expected consumer confidence data from the US Conference Board released on Tuesday also put pressure on US Treasury bonds, as the data strengthened the view that the possibility of a rate cut in the US in the near future has decreased. However, Frank Walbaum of Naga stated in a report that a re-escalation of trade tensions could reignite safe-haven sentiment. "Confirmation of the imposition of temporary global tariffs of 10%, with the possibility of the rate increasing to 15%, keeps trade risks elevated and intensifies concerns about new measures." According to Tradeweb data, the yield on 2-year US Treasury bonds rose by 2.1 basis points to 3.476%, while the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds rose by 2.3 basis points to 4.055%.
