U.S. yields climbed as traders braced for a closely watched bond auction and oil prices moved higher.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbed to its highest level since 2002 on Wednesday, as traders positioned themselves ahead of a key government bond sale, according to CNBC.
The move came after yields had retreated in the previous trading session, the report said, with Wednesday's rise coinciding with higher oil prices.
Rising Treasury yields typically reflect investor expectations about future interest rates, inflation and government borrowing needs, and can ripple through other parts of financial markets, including mortgage rates and corporate borrowing costs.
CNBC's report tied the day's move in part to anticipation around upcoming Federal Reserve meeting minutes and the results of the bond auction, though it did not specify the exact yield level reached or the size of the scheduled bond sale.
Investors have closely tracked long-term Treasury yields this year as a barometer of market sentiment on inflation and the broader path of monetary policy.
