The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield edged higher on Wednesday morning, ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.094% at 3:20 a.m., while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond slipped to 1.835%. Yields move inversely to prices.
Treasury yield movements were mixed, ahead of Biden being sworn into office shortly after noon ET, which will see him succeed President Donald Trump as the 46th president of the United States.
In his inauguration speech, Biden will speak about the need to bring the country together on the heels of a violent riot on Capitol Hill and amid extreme partisanship in Congress.
