U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield Soars After Tariff Suspension

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has spiked to its highest point since February 2025, reaching 4.525%, after former President Trump announced the suspension of tariffs. This sudden jump in yields reflects investor unease regarding increased economic instability. As a traditionally stable haven, the U.S. Treasury market is now reflecting broader market anxieties. The impact extends to currency swaps as central banks like the Bank of England and ECB adjust their liquidity arrangements. Cryptocurrency markets also saw significant reactions: Bitcoin experienced notable outflows totaling $162 million, while Ethereum saw inflows possibly driven by its perceived reliability during this volatility. Historical precedent shows that similar tariff adjustments in 2018 resulted in a surge in U.S. Treasury yields impacting global markets. Ethereum’s market cap of $188.94 billion and current price at $1,565.55 experienced a decline in trading volume, dropping by 35.49%, as per CoinMarketCap. Ethereum’s dominance is currently at 7.24% with a 0.16% increase in price over 24 hours. Coincu research team suggests this ongoing tariff dynamics may lead to significant regulatory responses, potentially affecting both traditional and crypto markets. Investors are likely to move towards more stable investment avenues during such periods.
