Treasury Yields Decline Across the Curve Led by Plunging Crude Prices
Newsquawk ·
United States Treasury yields retreated across all maturities on Monday, driven lower by a sharp slump in crude oil prices. The yield curve experienced a bull flattening movement, with the belly and long-end sectors leading the downward trend, whereas the 2-year yield remained relatively flat. The decline in yields closely followed crashing oil markets, as traders monitored potential diplomatic talks between the US and Iran after President Trump expressed willingness to meet his Iranian counterpart during the UN General Assembly. Crude futures ultimately plummeted by over USD 4 per barrel. In addition to UNGA geopolitics, market participants focused on US-China relations ahead of the Trump-Xi summit scheduled for this week. Treasury Secretary Bessent noted that the US is seeking to import a greater volume of everyday items from China.

A sharp drop in oil prices and a decline in US Treasury yields occurred simultaneously, putting strong bullish pressure on the bond market. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 4.1 bps to 4.959%, and T-note futures closed up 7 ticks. Expectations that falling oil prices would ease inflationary pressures drove bond buying.
상승 영향
- Bonds — As inflationary pressures eased due to the plunge in oil prices, Treasury yields fell across all maturities (prices rose), and T-note futures closed up 7 ticks.
- Growth Stocks — The decline in Treasury yields (10-year -4.1 bps) lowered the discount rate on future cash flows, reducing valuation burdens and creating a positive impact.
하락 영향
- Crude Oil — Crude oil prices plummeted over $4 per barrel under downward pressure due to expectations of easing geopolitical tensions, such as potential US-Iran diplomacy.
- Banks — Pressure on net interest margin (NIM) compression intensified due to falling Treasury yields and yield curve bull flattening.
DYAX 전담 분석
Crude oil prices plummeted by more than $4 per barrel, easing inflation concerns and pushing overall Treasury yields downward. US-Iran diplomatic expectations and remarks by President Trump served as the main drivers of the oil price decline.
Depending on the scenario, if oil prices remain stable, further strength in the bond market is expected, but the resurgence of geopolitical risks could increase yield volatility. Future inflation indicators and the outcome of the US-China summit should be closely monitored as key indicators.
