  • 10-year note yield ended at 4.313% after reaching 4.362%
  • President Trump's remarks on Iran and the Middle East initially pressured bond prices

Treasuries closed nearly flat on Thursday after recovering from an early slump, as investors balanced concerns over Middle East tensions with positive economic data. The benchmark 10-year note yield dipped slightly to 4.313% by the close, having earlier climbed to 4.362%. The market's muted response followed a volatile start driven by President Donald Trump's comments on the Middle East conflict, which initially spooked bond prices. However, a report from Iran and Oman on efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz helped ease some of the early selling pressure. Meanwhile, the Labor Department's report showed a surprise decline in initial jobless claims to 202,000 for the week ended March 28, the lowest level since January 10. The unexpected drop contrasted with economists' expectations of a rise to 212,000. The mixed signals left Treasuries without a clear direction, closing the session with minimal movement. Investors remain cautious as they weigh the potential for renewed conflict in the region against improving labor market indicators.
