The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note was little changed at around 4.25% on Monday, easing from modest gains in the Asian session and hovering near one-month lows, as investors assessed a renewed setback in peace negotiations.
On Sunday, the US said it had seized an Iranian cargo ship that attempted to breach its naval blockade, while Iran vowed to retaliate, heightening fears of a renewed escalation in hostilities.
Uncertainty also remains over whether US and Iranian officials will meet ahead of the expiry of a 14-day ceasefire on Tuesday, with Tehran indicating it will not participate in a second round of talks.
Meanwhile, oil prices edged higher and persistent inflation concerns continued to anchor borrowing costs at elevated levels.
Investors are also looking ahead to Tuesday’s Senate confirmation hearing for Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair.
He is widely seen as more dovish than current Chair Jerome Powell, whose term is set to expire in May.
