U.S. Treasury yields fell Friday as investors reacted to strong economic data and rising trade tensions.

The 10-year yield dropped to 4.423%, while the 2-year fell to 3.87%, and the 30-year to 4.99%.

Sentiment was boosted by solid consumer confidence, improved housing data, lower inflation expectations, and stronger-than-expected jobless claims and retail sales.

However, market concerns grew after reports that President Trump is demanding 15–20% tariffs on EU imports amid stalled trade talks, CNBC has reported.

Analysts noted ongoing signs of economic resilience despite policy uncertainty.
