On the first trading day of 2026, US Treasury bonds fell, and 30-year Treasury yields rose to their highest level since early September, as market optimism about the US economic outlook weakened demand for safe-haven assets. US 30-year Treasury yields once climbed 4 basis points to 4.88%, and 10-year Treasury yields rose 2 basis points to 4.19%. Earlier data showed that the number of initial jobless claims in the US fell to one of the lowest levels this year last week. Eugene Leow, a fixed income strategist at DBS Bank, said that the gradual increase in long-term yields may reflect growing optimism about the US economy, and the stock market may also echo this.
