Bond yields rise as 10-year Treasury hits 2.28 percent
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to 2.28 percent on Monday, resuming an upward move driven by expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike and improving eurozone data.

The Monday spike is the highest since Christmas Eve, with the last close above 2.28 percent on December 5.
