During the Asian trading session, US Treasury yields rose across the board as Brent crude oil prices rose above $100 per barrel, with high oil prices continuing to weigh on market sentiment due to their potential inflationary effects. Yields showed a steep increase, with long-term yields rising more than short-term yields. SEB economist Marcus Widen said in a report that oil prices fell slightly on Monday, "but concerns about oil supply pushed prices higher again this morning." According to Tradeweb data, the two-year US Treasury yield rose 1 basis point to 3.689%, the 10-year US Treasury yield rose 2.5 basis points to 4.244%, and the 30-year US Treasury yield rose 3.2 basis points to 4.888%.
