Treasury yields fall after Maduro seizure as oil wobbles and Fed week kicks off
New York, Jan 5, 2026, 08:46 (EST) U.S. Treasury yields slipped on Monday as government bonds headed for their first gains in a week, with a pullback in oil prices easing near-term inflation worries. The 10-year yield fell about three basis points to 4.17%, while the two-year yield dipped to 3.46% — moves measured in basis points, or one-hundredth of a percentage point. Bloomberg The move matters because Treasury yields act as a baseline for borrowing costs across the economy, from mortgages to corporate debt. A steady drift lower can loosen financial conditions even before the Federal Reserve changes rates.
