US treasury 2-year note yield, which typically moves in step with Fed interest rate expectations, was last up 18.7 basis points at 4.73 per cent, the highest since October 28. It is on track for its biggest one-day jump since the April 2025 "tariff tantrum", when US President Donald Trump announced trade levies on imports from around the world.
