Treasury yields ignore US data, turn lower on risk averse equities
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Treasuries extended gains, pushing yields lower at the long-end and short-end of the curve as bond traders remain focused on china driven risk aversion in the equity markets.
The yield on the 10-year fell to 2.217% from the pre-data level of 2.24%. The US durable goods orders report offered plenty for the investors to cheer, however, the US dollar is being offered across the board, while the yields took a dive even at the rate sensitive short-end of the curve.
Moreover, the treasuries remain focused on the risk aversion triggered by a largest single day drop in Chinese equities since 2007. The major US equity indices have opened in the red tracking losses in the overseas equity markets.
