U.S. Treasury yields edged higher in Asian trade, reversing the previous day's decline in long-end yields. The move came after weak U.S. housing data released overnight prompted investors to reassess rate-cut expectations.
Market participants noted that the uptick in yields reflected a shift in sentiment driven by the disappointing housing figures, which suggested underlying weakness in the U.S. economy despite recent Federal Reserve signals of patience.
Analysts said the yield movement underscores how sensitive global bond markets remain to incoming economic data, particularly as investors await key inflation reports and central bank commentary later in the week.
