U.S. Treasury Yields, Dollar Fall Amid Military De-escalation, Oil-Price Decline -- Market talk -- Market Talk

0938 GMT - U.S. Treasury yields fall and the dollar retreats as markets react to an easing in the Middle East tensions, as President Trump's pause of strikes on Iran cause oil prices to slide. "The apparent de-escalation dragged oil prices lower, tempering inflation concerns," says Tapaas' Jonathan Squires in a note. "A sustained decline in crude prices could further ease inflationary pressures and soften monetary policy expectations." On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to keep rates on hold, although markets anticipate a hike in September, according to LSEG. The 10-year Treasury yield falls 4.3 basis points to 4.636%, according to Tradeweb. The DXY dollar index falls 0.2% to 101.264. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
