Treasury Yields Fluctuate Amidst Market Uncertainty

U.S. Treasury yields were slightly lower as investors remained cautiously optimistic that recent banking turmoil has settled. Markets have been processing a flurry of news from the global banking sector in recent weeks, along with what the latest round of interest rate hikes from the U.S., U.K. and EU mean for those economies.

The banking sector's turmoil led to renewed selling across commodities, including crude oil. The US signaled it is unlikely to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve this year, which weighs on demand for crude.

The ECB Supervisory Board convened an unscheduled meeting on Friday to discuss stress and vulnerabilities in the euro zone bank sector. Credit Suisse shares are down about 26% this week and poised for their biggest week drop since October 2008 and the global financial crisis.
