Treasury yields rose on Tuesday, with long-dated yields surging to their highest level in over two decades, as tensions between the U.S. and Iran persisted. The early hours of Tuesday morning saw yields on U.S. 30-year Treasury yields add over 1 basis point to trade at around 5.322%, hovering just below the highest level since 2002. The 10-year Treasury note yield — the main benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt — was more than 1 basis point higher at 4.736%. The yield on the 2-year Treasury note, which typically reacts in line with short-term Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, was flat at 4.186%.
