US Treasury market struggles as tariff fears resurge
US Treasuries weakened in early June, with 30-year bond yields surging to 5%, driven by renewed concerns over President Donald Trump’s tariff policies during a critical week for economic data, Bloomberg reported. Yields rose 4–7 basis points across all maturities.
Long-term bonds faced heightened pressure from fiscal worries. The 10-year yield climbed over 6 basis points to a session high of 4.47%, while the 30-year yield briefly topped 5%. Tom di Galoma of Mischler Financial noted that large investors remain favoring shorter-term securities.
Analysts highlighted growing market anxiety over the US budget deficit and rising public debt. Meanwhile, the US dollar index approached its lowest level since 2023, Bloomberg noted.
