Treasury yields rose Tuesday morning and key yield spreads, the 2-year/10-year and the 5-year/30-year, remain inverted. It’s a bond market phenomenon that has often preceded economic recessions. Traders were selling bonds at the shorter end of the yield curve on concerns the Federal Reserve will get more aggressive in its interest rate-tightening cycle. Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields.

U.S. oil prices extended gains Tuesday on supply concerns as the U.S. and its European allies considered new sanctions against Moscow over allegations of war crimes by Russian troops in Ukraine. West Texas Intermediate crude added 1%, rising to more than $104 per barrel after Monday’s 4% increase broke a two-session decline.

The European Commission will propose banning coal imports from Russia. Imposing sanctions on the Russian energy sector has been a challenge for the European Union given the high level of dependency that some countries have on Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to address Tuesday’s meeting of the U.N. Security Council as images of atrocities emerged as Russian troops pulled back from towns around Kyiv.

U.S. futures are lower, European stocks are mostly lower and Asian markets ended higher.

The national average price of gasoline is down 1.3 cents at $4.176 per gallon.
