TREASURIES-Investors seek safety from Europe in US bonds
* Bonds shrug off unexpectedly strong US retail sales |
Reuters - May 14, 2010 - Reporting by Burton Frierson
Europe woes again lift Treasuries (Recasts lead, updates prices, adds analyst quote)
NEW YORK, May 14 (Reuters) - U.S. government bonds gained on Friday as persistent worries over the euro zone's debt crisis led investors to continue seeking safe harbor in Treasuries.
The bond market shrugged off data showing a bigger than expected rise in April U.S. retail sales, focusing instead on the euro EUR=, which fell to 18-month lows against the dollar under $1.25. [ID:nN13155984]
Bond investors have paid more attention to the euro in recent weeks, taking its slide as a sign of diminishing confidence in Europe's experiment with a single currency.
The worries have persisted despite a $1 trillion initiative worked out last weekend aimed at stanching the crisis, which began in Greece and has threatened to spread throughout the euro zone's fiscally troubled members.
"You can see the euro was just recently trading below $1.25 This to me says this is mostly a European problem," said Sergey Bondarchuk, US interest rate strategist with BNP Paribas in New York.
"There are very real risks in Europe and at least at this point it's safer to be in U.S. Treasuries. That's the backdrop that's driving the U.S. market. It's more of a flight to quality trade than based on fundamentals."
The benchmark 10-year note US10YT=RR was last up 12/32 in price, pushing the yield down to 3.49 percent from Thursday's close of 3.54 percent. (Reporting by Burton Frierson; Editing by Theodore d'Afflisio)
