Yields on Treasury bonds with durations ranging from 2 to 30 years was rising across the board as 2015's biggest rally starts to quickly give back most of its gains.

Near 1:45 pm ET on Tuesday, the 10-year yield had risen as high as 2.14%, the 30-year yield was up to 2.72%, the 5-year had risen to 1.62%, and the 2-year was up to 0.68%.

Earlier this year, the 10-year fell as low as 1.65% while the 30-year fell to a record low of 2.25% earlier this month.

In comments to Bloomberg, S&P's Sam Stovall said that Tuesday's surge in yields is "a preview of coming attractions."
