US 10-Year Yield Holds Decline

2026-04-15 02:22 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note traded around 4.25% on Wednesday after sliding for two straight sessions, as hopes for a diplomatic solution to the Middle East conflict allayed inflation concerns.

The US and Iran are reportedly preparing for a second round of peace talks before the current two-week ceasefire expires, even as heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to amplify global energy risks.

Oil prices pulled back sharply, further reducing concerns about inflationary pressures and the need for additional central bank tightening.

The Federal Reserve is now widely expected to keep rates unchanged through the year, with Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee noting that rate cuts could be delayed until 2027 depending on how long elevated oil prices persist.

Meanwhile, investors are set to watch upcoming data including import and export price indexes, as well as the NY Empire State Manufacturing Index and the NAHB Housing Market Index.

Treasury Yield Holds Near Lows Amid US-Iran Negotiations
The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note hovered near recent lows at approximately 4.3% on Tuesday, as renewed hopes for US-Iran negotiations helped alleviate inflation concerns. Although weekend talks failed to reach an agreement, prompting President Donald Trump to announce a blockade on Iranian oil shipments, he later suggested that Tehran had initiated contact and expressed willingness to resume discussions. Optimism over a potential long-term ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz weighed on oil prices, easing inflationary pressures and tempering expectations of a more aggressive Federal Reserve policy. On the economic front, US producer prices rose by 0.5% in March, falling short of the anticipated 1.1% increase. Meanwhile, ADP data revealed that the US economy added 39,250 jobs in the week ending March 28, marking the fourth consecutive week of robust job growth.
