Treasuries jumped as investors dashed into havens after President Donald Trump’s vow to press ahead with his trade war injected fresh uncertainty into global markets.

The rally, which drove the rate on the benchmark 10-year note down six basis points to 4.03%, gathered steam as stocks slid and worries mounted about potential US military strikes on Iran.
