Treasury Yields Hold Firm Amid Dollar Strength

U.S. government bond yields steadied on Friday as traders weighed mixed signals from inflation data and Federal Reserve commentary. The two-year note yielded 3.6%, while the 10-year benchmark hovered near 4.1%. Dollar indexes extended gains to three-month highs, supported by robust corporate earnings and global capital inflows. Currency strategists pointed out that the greenback’s rally is compressing commodity prices and tempering risk appetite in emerging markets. Analysts expect limited volatility ahead of next week’s jobs report, though persistent yield differentials continue attracting foreign investors into Treasuries.
