NEW YORK - U.S. Treasury yields edged higher on Friday on hopes the United States and China will take steps to de-escalate their trade war, though trading volumes were muted before a U.S. holiday.
The two countries gave signs on Thursday that they will resume trade talks as the two economic superpowers discussed the next round of in-person negotiations in September. A new round of U.S. tariffs on some Chinese goods is scheduled to take effect on Sunday. “It’s a decent-size extension, but volumes are very, very light as to be expected ahead of the holiday,” said Justin Lederer, an interest rate strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald in New York.
