U.S. government debt yields added to steep May declines on Friday after President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on all Mexican imports took investors by surprise and aggravated an already-stressed U.S. trade outlook.
At around 7:27 a.m. ET, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury notewas lower at around 2.16%, off a fresh 20-month low around 2.15% hit in overnight trading. A portion of the yield curve remained inverted as the yield on the 3-month Treasury bill held at 2.354%. The 2-year rate slipped to 2.006%.
Trade concerns continue to dominate investor sentiment, after Trump said Thursday he would be imposing a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports from June 10. The new duties are questioning the fate of the recently negotiated deal between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
