The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note eased to 4.5% on Friday after touching a five-month high of 4.6% in the prior session, as demand for safety amid heightened geopolitical tension outweighed the impact of hawkish expectations for the Fed. Reports that Israel is bracing for imminent strikes from Iran deepened concern of escalated warfare in the Middle East, triggering a rush to safe-haven assets, including US Treasuries of all durations.

Consequently, 75% of the market expects the Fed to hold rates unchanged until the end of Q2, while being loosely split on a first rate cut in September.
