U.S. Treasury yields rose on Monday as investors reacted to President Donald Trump’s renewed threats of military action against Iran over Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel, a development that pushed oil prices higher and sharpened inflation concerns. The move followed a U.S. cash Treasury market holiday on Friday, with analysts saying the physical market was catching up to earlier moves in futures. Brent crude climbed more than 2% at the open, while West Texas Intermediate neared $77 a barrel. The 10-year Treasury yield reached about 4.50% and the two-year 4.22%, as traders advanced expectations for the next Federal Reserve rate increase to September, influenced also by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s recent hawkish comments.
