U.S. Treasury yields slightly rise; oil prices increase amid Middle East conflict

U.S. Treasury yields showed a slight rise on 13 (Eastern Time), prompting investors to again monitor inflation signals. The increase in international oil prices due to the intensifying Middle East conflict is cited as the reason behind this move.

On the morning of 13 at 9 o'clock and 15 minutes, the 10-year Treasury yield in the New York bond market pointed to an increase of 1.10 basis points to 4.579% compared to the closing price from the previous trading day at 3 o'clock. This figure reflects the market's intraday flow at that time.

The 2-year yield, sensitive to monetary policy, recorded a rise of 1.90 basis points to 4.227%. Short-term interest rate movements react directly to changes in policy expectations.

The yield on the 30-year government bond rose by 0.60 basis points compared to the previous session, forming a yield of 5.077%. Long-term bonds also showed a slight upward trend.

This trend is said to have resulted from the escalation of armed conflict between the U.S. and Iran, leading to a rise in international oil prices, which in turn reflected inflation concerns in the bond market.

The market is in a mood to confirm inflation signals by linking movements in short and long-term interest rates with fluctuations in oil prices.
