Temporary Agreement Prevents Government Shutdown

Treasury Yields Continue to Climb

On Monday morning, the yield on the 2-year Treasury rose by 8 basis points to 5.113%, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury increased by 7 basis points to 4.645%. These rising yields indicate investor anticipation and could impact financial markets.
