Yields on U.S. Treasurys were slightly lower early Tuesday, easing losses in the previous session as traders weigh up central banks’ response to renewed inflation fears. <\/p>\n

The 10-year U.S. Treasury<\/a>\u00a0note yield \u2014 the key benchmark for U.S. government borrowing \u2014 was more than 1 basis points lower on Tuesday morning, at 4.6073%. The longer-dated\u00a030-year Treasury bond<\/a>\u00a0yield, which is more sensitive to political risks, was last seen holding steady, at 5.1428%.<\/p>\n

The\u00a02-year Treasury note<\/a>\u00a0yield, which tends to react in line with short-term Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, was also more than 2 basis points lower at 4.0695%. <\/p>\n

One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Treasurys were taking a breather after yields soared on Monday, with the U.S. 10-year note yield touching its highest level in 15 months at one point.<\/p>\n

It came as a Bank of America survey published on Tuesday revealed 62% of global fund manager respondents expect 30-year Treasury yields to hit 6%, which would mark the highest level since late 1999 and an increase of roughly 86 basis points from the current level. This compares to just 20% of respondents who said they are targeting a 30-year yield of 4%. <\/p>\n
