The Japanese yen was the main gainer of that concerns about the trade talks between US and China on unwinding of the carry trades, as it is still having very low financing currency cost comparing to USD.
JGB 10yr yield is now standing well below Zero close to -0.055%, while UST 10yr yield is expected to dive down again after it could recover by last week end to stand close to 2.47%, after slumping to 2.4265% on Trump's decision to raise the levy on Chinese goods worth $200b from 10% to 25%.

Following imposing its new levy, The comments which came out from Trump administration indicated that it is to wait for 2 or likely 3 week to reach a deal with China.
But this stance is expected to be changed too, as it looks that if there is a deal to come, it can not be before the coming G20 summit on 28–29 June 2019 in Osaka, after the previous meeting in Beyonce Aires by the end of last November sparked that running talking talks and hanged the Trade War fires which started again last Friday!
In the same time, EU leaders know very well that if there is a deal to come or even no to come between this 2 biggest economies, the turn will be on them next to reach a trade deal with this administration which is looking eyeing on the EU Automotive Industry as a next target.
