Nov 12 (Reuters) - Short-dated U.S. Treasury yields
jumped to a fresh 3-1/2-month high on Tuesday as investors
priced in the possibility of higher rates from U.S.
President-elect Donald Trump's proposed policies on taxes and
trade tariffs.
The bond market had been closed for a holiday the day
before.
Analysts expect Trump's administration to bring more
government borrowing due to higher fiscal deficits, lower taxes
and higher tariffs.
The U.S. 2-year yield, which is very sensitive to
expectations for U.S. interest rates, rose to 4.33%, its highest
since July 31 and was last up 7 basis points (bps) to 4.32%.
The benchmark U.S. 10-year yield rose 5 bps to
4.35%.
