Treasury Yields Edge Down

2026-09-21 12:32 By Joana Taborda 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note fell 2bps to 4.97% on Monday, as traders started the new week with another decline in oil prices, amid hopes that diplomatic efforts could lead to a resolution to the conflict with Iran.

Oil prices have now fallen for four consecutive sessions, easing some concerns over renewed inflationary pressures.

Hopes of easing geopolitical tensions, supported by the summit between President Trump and President Xi as well as this week’s UN General Assembly, also helped improve investor sentiment.

Meanwhile, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee said he remains open to the possibility that inflation will resume its decline towards the 2% target, but warned that interest rates may need to rise if that fails to materialise.

Several other Fed officials are scheduled to speak this week, with markets closely watching their comments for further clues on the outlook for monetary policy.

Traders currently expect the Fed to deliver another 25bps rate hike this year.

US 10-Year Treasury Yield Rebounds
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note edged up 7bps to 5% on Friday, recovering from an 8bps decline in the previous session, as traders digested a more hawkish Fed and reassessed the outlook for monetary policy. The central bank raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 25bps to 3.75%-4%, as expected. The Fed also signalled at least one more rate hike this year, while Chair Warsh reaffirmed the central bank’s commitment to taming inflation, helping to restore market confidence in its policy stance and credibility. The benchmark yield topped 5.04% ahead of the FOMC decision, its highest level since 2007, amid concerns over the Fed’s ability to bring inflation under control and persistently elevated oil prices. Meanwhile, oil prices were volatile on Friday after falling in the previous two sessions, amid concerns about supply from Saudi Arabia and as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remained elevated.
