US 10-Year Yield Falls on Mideast Ceasefire

2026-04-08 02:54 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note fell to around 4.25% on Wednesday, hitting an almost three-week low after President Donald Trump delayed his threat to strike Iranian civilian infrastructure by two weeks in what he called a “double-sided ceasefire,” contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also said the US had received a 10-point proposal from Iran that he described as a “workable basis for negotiations,” with the two-week window allowing the potential agreement to be finalized and implemented.

Additionally, Iran has agreed to reopen the vital waterway for two weeks provided all attacks are halted, while Israel has reportedly assented to the ceasefire.

On the data front, US consumer inflation expectations rose in March, and transportation costs in the logistics sector saw a notable increase.

Looking ahead, the release of US March CPI data on Friday is expected to provide further insight into price pressures potentially linked to the ongoing conflict.

US 10-Year Treasury Yield Drops to Near 3-Week Low
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note retreated to 4.3% on Tuesday, a near three-week low as investors sought the safety of government bonds amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty. This decline followed a volatile morning where yields nearly reached 4.37% before President Trump warned of devastating attacks if his 8 p.m. deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not met. Market sentiment shifted late in the session after Pakistan’s Prime Minister proposed a two-week extension to the deadline which provided a brief window for diplomatic mediation. Despite this temporary reprieve in yields inflation concerns remain elevated with Bank of America forecasting a 0.9% jump in March headline CPI due to the energy supply shock. Looking ahead, the release of US March CPI data on Friday is expected to provide further insight into price pressures potentially linked to the ongoing conflict.
