The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note reached 4.788%, its highest level since mid-January 2025, as investors reacted to a surge in oil prices and renewed inflation worries.

The yield rose about three basis points on Tuesday. The 30-year yield gained more than two basis points to 5.272%, while the two-year yield stood at about 4.362%.

— Ulrike Hoffmann-BurchardiThe analyst described how higher oil prices affected the bond market.

Investors were assessing developments in the Middle East after U.S. forces launched new attacks against Iran. A tanker was also hit by projectiles of unknown origin off Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation pushed West Texas Intermediate crude above $88 a barrel.

That increase in oil prices “fed inflation concerns and prompted bond selling,” raising yields, analyst Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi said in a note cited by CNBC. She also pointed to uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s monetary-policy path, fiscal concerns and increased debt issuance tied to artificial intelligence as factors keeping pressure on the bond market.
