The 10-year authorities bond yield is flat as development issues stay

US Treasury bond yields barely changed Tuesday morning amid concerns about slowing growth.

The benchmark ten-year government bond yield rose less than one basis point to 1.176% at 9:30 a.m. ET. The yield on the 30-year government bond fell slightly to 1.847%. The returns move inversely to the prices and one basis point equals 0.01%.

The 10-year yield fell to 1.15% on Monday after data showed the US manufacturing sector expanded more slowly in July than in the previous month.

The spread of the delta coronavirus variant also worried investors. The seven-day average of daily coronavirus cases in the US hit 72,790 on Friday, beating its peak last summer when the nation did not have an approved Covid-19 vaccine, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
