Mortgage News Daily reports Treasuries finished with a modest pullback in yields, with 10-year yields down about 3 basis points to roughly 4.54+, while mortgage-backed securities (MBS) rose more than a quarter point.

The outlet said the session added emphasis to the rejection of a technical breakout above 4.59%, noting it could not tie the move to bond-specific reasons and instead described markets as largely driven by broader inputs.

Mortgage News Daily linked the price action to oil, describing a highly reliable correlation during the current resurgence of U.S./Iran tensions, though it may not last.

In a snapshot during the day, it reported MBS were up 2 ticks, or 0.06, and 10-year yields were slightly lower near 4.566, later improving to MBS up 9 ticks, or 0.28, with 10-year yields down 3 basis points to about 4.543.
