Treasury yields inch lower as investors weigh economic data, tariff threats

توضیحات:

U.S. Treasury yields fell Friday as investors reacted to strong economic data and rising trade tensions. The 10-year yield dropped to 4.423%, while the 2-year fell to 3.87%, and the 30-year to 4.99%. Sentiment was boosted by solid consumer confidence, improved housing data, lower inflation expectations, and stronger‑than‑expected jobless claims and retail sales. However, market concerns grew after reports that President Trump is demanding 15–20% tariffs on EU imports amid stalled trade talks, CNBC has reported. Analysts noted ongoing signs of economic resilience despite policy uncertainty.
