U.S. Treasury Yields Tick Up Ahead of Powell Speech

Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks will face political scrutiny, testing investor confidence before key economic data.

An Arkansas family nearly lost the beloved dog recently when it wandered away from home and was missing for four days. Luckily, a drone operator joined the search and saved the dog in more ways than one…finding the pooch and scaring away an attacking coyote at the same time.

Overview

  • The 10-year Treasury yield rose about one basis point to 4.389%, the 2-year held near 3.865%, and the 30-year climbed more than two basis points to 4.959%.
  • Investors are focused on Powell’s Washington address for guidance on the timing and scale of potential rate cuts.
  • President Trump’s calls for Powell’s removal and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s proposal to review the Fed have heightened market uncertainty.
  • Traders are also monitoring this week’s data releases, including June existing home sales, weekly jobless claims and durable goods orders.
  • Longer-term sentiment remains influenced by June’s 0.3% drop in the Leading Economic Index and the looming August 1 tariff payment deadline.
