U.S. 30-Year Bond Yields Tumble Most Over Two Days Since 2008 |
Bloomberg Businesweek - Sept. 21, 2011 - By Cordell Eddings and Susanne Walker
Treasury 30-year bonds rallied, pushing yields down the most over two days since the depths of the financial crisis almost three years ago, as stocks fell worldwide on concern the economy is sliding into recession.
Benchmark 10-year notes rose for a fifth day in the longest stretch of advances since May a day after the central bank said it would buy $400 billion of longer-term debt while selling an equal amount of shorter maturities to cap borrowing costs under what is known as Operation Twist. The extra yield 30-year bonds offer over two-year notes shrank to the narrowest since 2009.
“People are really scared,” said Justin Lederer, an interest-rate strategist in New York at Cantor Fitzgerald LP, one of the 20 primary dealers that trade with the Fed. “The market expected a curve twist, but not to this extent, and so we are seeing a strong long-end rally in bonds. And we are in the midst of a situation where every day the likelihood of a global recession creeps up stronger.”
Yields on 30-year bonds decreased 20 basis points, or 0.20 percentage point, to 2.80 percent at 5:11 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 3.75 percent securities due in August 2041 advanced 4 11/32, or $43.44 per $1,000 face amount, to 119 6/32. Yields fell as much as 44 basis points over two days, the most since November 2008
