Treasury yields fell on Monday after the U.S. and Iran<\/a> halted hostilities in the Middle East over the weekend, pushing energy prices lower.<\/p>\n

The yield on the key 10-year Treasury note<\/a> \u2014 the main benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt \u2014 was more than 4 basis points lower at 4.634%.<\/p>\n

Shorter- and longer-term yields also moved lower. The yield on the 2-year Treasury note<\/a>, which typically tracks short-term Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, dropped 3 basis points to 4.299%<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 30-year Treasury<\/a> yield, which traditionally moves in response to geopolitical events, was down more than 4 basis points to 5.121%.<\/p>\n

One basis point equals 0.01%, or 1\/100th of 1%, and yields and prices move inversely to one another.<\/p>\n

Monday’s slide in borrowing costs comes after the U.S. and Iran held fire for the third consecutive night.<\/p>\n

Oil prices<\/a> rapidly reversed course, with U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures<\/a> sliding 8% to $82.18. Global benchmark Brent crude<\/a> \u2014 which last week had approached the $100 per barrel level \u2014 was last seen 9.5% lower at $87.59.<\/p>\n

The moves come as traders look ahead to the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate decision, due Wednesday. Consensus forecasts indicate the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee will leave rates unchanged at 3.75%.<\/p>\n

As markets weigh how the evolving Middle East picture is likely to shape the Fed’s rate call, investors are also keeping an eye on a slew of other economic data releases scheduled this week.<\/p>\n

These include June’s core PCE price index, the latest quarterly GDP print, and new orders data for U.S.-made durable goods. <\/p>\n
