NEW YORK (MarketWatch) â Yields on 10-year Treasury notes touched a record low on Monday as prices rose, shrugging off the U.S. governmentâs first debt sale of the week at the lowest yield on record.
Shorter-dated debt has sold off while longer-dated yields have remained lower as traders bet on the Federal Reserve next week announcing a plan that would benefit long-term bonds.
Yields on 10-year notes , which move inversely to prices, fell to an all-time low of 1.87% during the European trading session as worries about Greece and European banks increased demand for the relative safety of U.S. government debt. They lately rose 1 basis point to 1.93%.
