1546 ET - Treasury yields jump following a disappointing two-year auction as markets navigate the uncertainties of war in the Middle East. Oil prices rise around 4% and the dollar strengthens as Tehran denies direct talks with the U.S., contradicting President Trump. A two-year Treasury auction has a bid-to-cover ratio of just 2.44, below the prior six-month average of 2.62 and the lowest since May 2024, indicating weak demand. The two-year yield settles at 3.926%, up 0.096 percentage point and the highest since July. The 10-year rises 0.056 p.p. to 4.390%. The WSJ Dollar Index is up 0.3%.
