US 10-Year Yield Holds Advance

2026-05-08 02:54 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note hovered around 4.39% on Friday, following an advance of about 3 basis points in the previous session, as renewed US-Iran clashes in the Strait of Hormuz reduced expectations for an imminent peace deal and reignited inflation concerns.

Three US Navy destroyers transiting the strategic waterway reportedly intercepted Iranian attacks and carried out defensive strikes, although President Donald Trump said the ceasefire remains in effect.

The Trump administration is still awaiting Iran’s response to a proposal aimed at reopening Hormuz and bringing an end to the nearly 10-week conflict, with reports suggesting Tehran is expected to reply via Pakistan within the next two days.

Meanwhile, investors are also focused on the upcoming April jobs report, which is forecast to show the US economy added 62K jobs last month, down from 178K in March, while the unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 4.3%.

US 10-Year Yield Steadies Ahead of Fed Meeting
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note held steady around 4.64% on Tuesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision, with markets pricing in an over one-third chance of a rate hike. That reflects an unusually high level of uncertainty this close to a Fed meeting compared with recent years. Citadel Securities also said it expects the Fed to raise interest rates this week to reinforce Chairman Kevin Warsh’s credibility in fighting inflation after the central bank chief repeatedly pledged to restore price stability. Meanwhile, the probability of a Fed rate hike in September currently stands at around 56%. On the geopolitical front, President Donald Trump said the US was engaged in "good talks" with Iran aimed at ending the Middle East conflict, sending oil prices lower and easing concerns over inflation and tighter monetary policy.

Treasury Yields Retreat
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note fell to 4.65% on Monday after reaching its highest level since January 2025 last week, helped by declining oil prices. The US suspended its nearly two-week campaign of strikes against Iran late on Friday, although no official announcement was made. As a result, Tehran halted its retaliatory military operations and held talks with Oman on ensuring shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. These developments alleviated concerns over further supply disruptions and a renewed inflationary spiral, prompting investors to scale back expectations for Fed's tightening. Investors are also awaiting the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision later this week. The central bank is widely expected to leave the federal funds rate unchanged, although markets currently assign roughly a 33% probability to a rate hike. Looking ahead, a September increase remains the base case, with traders pricing in nearly an 80% chance of such a move.

US 10-Year Yield Falls as Oil Prices Drop
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note fell to around 4.64% on Monday, pulling back from six-month highs as oil prices dropped following a pause in hostilities between the US and Iran over the weekend, easing concerns over supply disruptions and inflation. The US suspended its nearly two-week campaign of strikes against Iran beginning late Friday without an official announcement, while Tehran said it had ended its retaliatory military operations and held discussions with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, investors are awaiting the Federal Reserve's policy meeting this week, where officials are widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged. However, some market participants believe the central bank could act as early as this week's meeting in response to renewed inflationary pressures. Investors are also looking ahead to advance Q2 GDP data, PCE inflation figures, and earnings from major US companies for further insight into the strength of the economy.
