U.S. Treasury yields edge higher as Wall Street monitors Middle East tensions
U.S. Treasury yields edged higher on Monday, July 20, 2026, as Wall Street monitored escalating Middle East tensions. The 10-year Treasury note yield rose over 1 basis point to 4.558%, while the 30-year bond yield rose to 5.078%. The 2-year note yield was flat at 4.181%. The yield increase came amid ongoing U.S. military strikes against Iran, with U.S. Central Command completing a ninth consecutive evening of strikes targeting Iranian military command centers, air defense, coastal surveillance, maritime capabilities, and missile/drone launch sites. Tehran retaliated with attacks on neighboring countries including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, while Kuwait reported intercepting hostile drone attacks. The yield movement partially reversed last week's slide, which followed cooler-than-expected inflation data and lower jobless claims. Investors are now awaiting the S&P Global Flash U.S. PMI report due Friday.
