In this article US10Y US2Y US30Y @CL.1 @LCO.1 Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT U.S. Treasury yields rose on Monday after the U.S. and Iran again exchanged military strikes, further clouding the prospects for a deal to end the conflict. The 10-year Treasury yield— the key benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt — was up more than 1 basis point in early trade at 4.4729%. Yields on the 2-year Treasury note, which often move in reaction to short-term Federal Reserve rate decisions, were more than 2 basis points higher, at 4.0390%. The 30-year bond yield, meanwhile, held steady at 4.9958%. One basis point equals 0.01%, or 1/100th of 1%, and yields and prices move inversely to one another. Borrowing costs edged higher after U.S. and Iranian air strikes over the weekend, with each side exchanging fire close to the strategically important Strait of Hormuz shipping channel. Bond yields had steadied on Friday as traders closed out the month with an eye on geopolitical developments, amid signs that the U.S. and Iran were nearing a ceasefire extension. But fresh uncertainty over the direction of the conflict pushed oil prices higher on the first day of June. Prices of West Texas Intermediate futures jumped more than 4% to $90.92% early Monday, while Brent crude , the international oil price benchmark, was up 3.6% at $94.37. Later, the Institute for Supply Management will release its latest manufacturing index for May, as investors continue to probe data for signs of rising costs within the U.S. economy. The ISM's manufacturing PMI is expected to come in at 53, according to consensus forecasts, up from April's 52.7 print, which itself was unchanged from March — the highest level since April 2022. Elsewhere, former Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell warned in a speech that moves by the Trump administration to push the central bank towards lower interest rates risk damaging the public's faith in the institution's independence.

A group of bondholders of La Financiere Atalian SAS is set to take control of the French company as part of a debt restructuring. The facilities-management firm and its controlling shareholder reached an agreement with an ad hoc group of investors holding about 60% of Atalian’s €919 million ($1.1 billion) of notes due in 2028, according to a filing Monday. Under the deal, creditors will convert roughly two-thirds of the group’s liabilities into a majority equity stake in the company, while the remaining debt will be extended to 2031. The investors have also committed up to €140 million of new super-senior financing to refinance existing debt and strengthen liquidity. The restructuring follows a difficult period for Atalian, which has been hit by contract losses that weighed on operating performance last year. Management has launched a transformation plan aimed at improving efficiency, though the benefits have yet to show up in earnings. The creditor group had already provided €50 million of super-senior financing earlier this year to support the company while negotiations were ongoing. Turnaround Plan Atalian is now seeking support from bondholders outside the ad hoc group and aims to complete the transaction by Sept. 30. The company is also seeking to go beyond a balance-sheet fix to achieve a more lasting turnaround. While results are expected to remain under pressure this year due to the carryover effects of last year’s performance, management said it expects to start to see improvements in 2027 as cost savings and operational changes take hold. The deal would also reshape governance. Sophie Pécriaux, wife of founding-family member Franck Julien, currently controls the majority of Atalian’s equity. Following completion of the restructuring, the company is expected to be overseen by a new board made up primarily of independent directors, with Bernard Gault set to become chairman.
