US 10Y Yield Holds Decline

2026-04-14 02:41 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note remained near recent lows at around 4.29% on Tuesday, as expectations for continued US-Iran negotiations helped ease inflation concerns.

While talks over the weekend failed to produce an agreement, prompting President Donald Trump to announce a blockade targeting Iranian oil shipments, he later indicated that Tehran had made contact and is seeking to resume discussions.

Hopes for a longer-term ceasefire and a potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz weighed on oil prices, reducing inflationary pressures and dialing back hawkish expectations for Federal Reserve policy.

Meanwhile, Fed Governor Stephen Miran said the energy shock stemming from the Iran conflict has yet to feed into longer-term inflation expectations, adding that he expects price pressures to return to the central bank’s target within a year.

US 10Y Yield Pressured by Soft PPI
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note hovered around 4.56% on Thursday after falling for two straight sessions, as easing inflation pressures reduced expectations of a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate hike. Data released on Wednesday showed US producer prices unexpectedly fell in June for the first time in nearly a year, largely driven by lower energy costs, following Tuesday’s softer-than-expected consumer inflation report. Markets scaled back expectations for a Fed rate increase in September, with the implied probability dropping to around 44% from 50% a day earlier. Meanwhile, investors continued to monitor escalating attacks in the Middle East after the US launched additional strikes against Iranian targets. The renewed conflict pushed oil prices sharply higher this week, reviving concerns over inflation and the outlook for interest rates. Still, President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Tehran had signaled a willingness to resume negotiations.

US 10-Year Treasury Yields Edges Lower After PPI
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note edged down to 4.55% on Wednesday after a softer-than-expected producer price report provided fresh evidence of easing inflationary pressures. Producer prices unexpectedly fell 0.3% in June, compared with expectations for no change, while both the annual headline and core measures also came in below forecasts. The report followed Tuesday's softer-than-expected CPI data, reinforcing signs of moderating inflation. Also, NY Fed President Williams said that while inflation “is unquestionably too high, there are encouraging reasons to expect that inflation has peaked”. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Warsh reiterated the central bank's commitment to restoring price stability during his congressional testimony but stopped short of signaling a more hawkish policy stance. Markets are pricing in roughly a 49% probability of a Fed rate hike in September, below 70% last week.

US 10-Year Yield Holds Decline
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note hovered around 4.59% on Wednesday after softer-than-expected US inflation data eased concerns about imminent Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The annual US inflation rate eased to 3.5% in June from 4.2% in May, coming in below forecasts of 3.8% as lower oil prices helped moderate energy inflation. Consumer prices also fell 0.4% from the previous month, marking the first monthly decline since 2020. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh reiterated the central bank’s commitment to restoring price stability during congressional testimony on Tuesday but stopped short of signaling a more hawkish policy stance. Markets continue to price in roughly a 50% chance of a Fed rate hike in September, as renewed tensions between the US and Iran lifted oil prices and kept inflationary pressures in focus.
