Treasury Yields Slide as Confidence Gauge Stokes Economy Fears, Bloomberg via Yahoo News (no paywall), Feb 25, 2025

This paragraph kinda summarizes it --

“The narrative shifted on Monday, from ‘the new US administration isn’t yet delivering on our pro-growth expectations’ to ‘US policies may be starting to cause real economic damage.’ ... That’s why US 10-year yields are at their lowest level in more than two months and likely to head a chunk lower again over the coming weeks.”
— Mark Cudmore, MLIV Executive Editor, Singapore

ETA- when bond yields go down, bond prices go up. So I'm enjoying a mini-recovery in my intermediate bond fund holdings from devastating losses in purchasing power over the last 3+ years.
