U.S. Treasury yields climbed higher on Monday as oil prices soared past $100 a barrel and increased inflation fears among investors. <\/p>\n

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yields rose more than 4 basis points to 4.175%, and the 30-year Treasury bond added more than 3 basis points to yield 4.787%. The\u00a02-year Treasury<\/a>\u00a0note yield was 5 basis points higher at 3.606%.<\/p>\n

One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.<\/p>\n

Investors are watching oil prices, which jumped more than 25% earlier to above $110 a barrel, fueling concerns about rising energy costs and an inflation spike.<\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate<\/a>\u00a0later pulled back and was last trading around $102 per barrel, and global benchmark\u00a0Brent<\/a>\u00a0was at $104 per barrel. <\/p>\n

The surge in oil prices came after major Middle Eastern oil producers, Kuwait, Iran, and the UAE, cut oil production following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> amid the war. The G7 finance ministers are expected to hold a call at 8:30 a.m. EST to discuss potentially. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, investors are looking ahead to a busy week of economic data, including February inflation data on Wednesday, the personal consumption expenditures index, and JOLTs job opening figures for January on Friday. <\/p>\n

Additionally, Federal Reserve officials are currently in their pre-meeting blackout period ahead of the March interest rate decision.<\/p>\n
