1548 ET - Treasury yields lose steam and change little from yesterday as markets brace for a potential U.S. attack on Iran while Fedspeak gets more hawkish. Governor Miran, a very vocal dove, says the Fed shouldn't cut rates as much this year as he previously thought. Weekly jobless claims fall more than expected, pointing to muted layoffs that support forecasts of a long Fed pause. President Trump seems to give Iran a new 10-day deadline to agree to a nuclear deal. The 10-year slips 0.006 percentage point to 4.074% while the two year rise 0.008 p.p. to 3.468%.
