What happened

Treasury yields moved higher Monday as investors weighed the implications of more costly energy prices on the general level of inflation as a result of the Iran war.

Why it matters

The 2-year Treasury yield moved up more than 6 basis points to 3.954%, the benchmark 10-year note yield rose more than 6 basis points to 4.442%, and the 30-year bond yield gained more than 5 basis points to 5.021%.

Common ground

One basis point equals 0.01 percentage point, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
