U.S. Treasury yields were little changed on Friday, a day after President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon extended their ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note \u2013 the benchmark for mortgages, credit card loans and auto loans \u2013 was more than 1 basis point lower at 4.31%.<\/p>\n

The 2-year Treasury note yield, which more closely tracks short-term Federal Reserve interest rate policy, fell less than 1 basis point to 3.821%. The longer-term 30-year Treasury bond yield fell nearly two basis points to 4.902%. <\/p>\n

One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors met in Washington on Thursday for a second round of talks. Trump said the two sides agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks after meeting with top US officials at the White House.<\/p>\n

“The meeting was great!” The President said in a satya social post<\/a> Announcement of extension of temporary ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Attention is focused on developments in peace talks in the Middle East, with the Iranian foreign minister reportedly scheduled to arrive in Islamabad on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Don’t rush me,” Trump told reporters Thursday when asked about a long-term deal with Iran. He also said that he would not put any “timetable” on when the war would end.<\/p>\n
