Easing tensions in Middle East draw money away from the safe-haven investment

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Bonds ended lower Monday as geopolitical tensions eased in the Middle East and a cease-fire appeared to be holding between Israel and Hezbollah.

The dollar fell against the yen and the euro.

ECONOMY

The benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell 6/32, or $1.86 for each $1,000 invested, to yield 5.00 percent, up from 4.97 late Friday. Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.

The 30-year bond lost 9/32, or $2.81 on a $1,000 note, to yield 5.12 percent, up from 5.10 in the previous session.

The five-year note dipped 5/32, yielding 4.95 percent. The two-year note fell two ticks, yielding 5.02 percent.

Treasurys are considered a safe-haven investment and often gain when geopolitical tensions rise.

In currency trading, the euro bought $1.2719, down from $1.2726 late Friday. The dollar bought ¥116.67, up from ¥116.29 in the previous session.
