U.S. Treasury yields dropped Monday as markets reacted to President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary and anticipated key inflation data later this week. Bessent is the founder of Key Square Group and is expected to support Trump's economic goals with gradual tariffs and pro-business policies while prioritizing market stability.

This week's Key economic data includes the Federal Reserve's policy meeting minutes, home price data, and the October PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge.
