Treasury Yields Little Changed as Oil, Gold and Crypto Rise -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/08/21 12:540854 ET - Treasurys trade sideways as investors grapple with a more hands-on approach to bond markets by the Trump administration. Many economists are skeptical that increasing buybacks of long-term debt will sustainably keep yields down, without attacking fiscal deficits. Meanwhile, crude oil prices keep ticking higher, sparking inflation fears. Gold rises 1% and bitcoin rallies 6%. U.S. manufacturing and services PMIs are expected to edge higher, according to WSJ consensus. The 30-year yield is at 5.246%, slightly up from yesterday's settle of 5.237%. The 10-year is little changed at 4.698% and so is the two-year at 4.187%. (paulo.trevisani@wsj.com; @ptrevisani)
