US Treasuries have posted their first monthly loss of 2025, declining over 1.2% in May, primarily due to rising concerns about the increasing government deficit and uncertainties around tariffs. This month marked the longest losing streak for 30-year yields since 2023, as the unpredictable policies of the Trump administration shook investor confidence. Economic data indicated slower consumer spending and lower imports, leading money markets to anticipate potential interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Analysts suggest that growing competition for longer-term bonds may result in even higher yields in the near future.
