U.S. Treasury yields were slightly lower early Tuesday, reversing course after the 10-year hit it highest level in more than two months during the previous session.
The 10-year Treasury yield was nudged down less than 1 basis point to 4.02%, while the yield on the 2-year Treasury moved 3.5 basis points lower to 3.969%.
Yields move inversely to prices. One basis point equals 0.01%.
The 10-year jumped above 4% on Monday amid stronger labor market readings and despite the start of a Federal Reserve rate-cutting campaign last month.
