Government bonds sold off in tandem with stocks on Monday after President Donald Trump threatened to apply higher tariffs on a group of trading partners in less than a month.

Trump said Monday that goods from Japan and South Korea would be hit with 25% tariffs on Aug. 1, while the rate on imports from Myanmar and Laos will rise to 40%.

That’s up from a 10% baseline tariff since April. The Author Joy WiltermuthJoy Wiltermuth is a news editor and senior reporter based in New York.
