US 10-Year Yield Holds Decline
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note held around 4.37% on Tuesday after declining for four consecutive sessions, as investors remained cautious ahead of the August 1 deadline for trade deals with the US. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday the administration prioritizes the quality of trade agreements over their timing, adding that President Donald Trump will decide whether to extend the deadline for countries making productive progress. On the monetary front, attention turns to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks at an event in Washington later today for potential clues on rate policy. While Trump continues to pressure the Fed to cut interest rates, markets have yet to fully price in a move this month.
