## Treasuries slip
Treasuries slipped at the end of the week as still-elevated energy costs stoked concern about inflation and backed expectations for further Federal Reserve interest-rate increases.
## Yields rise
Two-year yields rose four basis points to 4.79% while 10-year yields climbed to 5.25%.
## Market reaction
Investors sold global long-dated debt as rising inflation from Iran war and ballooning deficits fueled bearish sentiment.
## Brent crude
Brent crude fluctuated around $104 a barrel after Trump vowed to hold off on attacking Iran until after US midterms.
## Key takeaway

Rising energy costs and inflation fears boosted Treasury yields as investors expect more Federal Reserve rate hikes.
