Treasury yields rise despite losses in US index futures
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The yields on the treasury notes in the US advanced on Tuesday despite moderate losses in the US index futures and European equities.
At the time of writing, the 10-yr treasury yield in the US was up 2.8 basis points on the day at 2.056%. The 30-yr yield had also gained 2.6 basis points to trade at 2.908%. The 2-yr yield, which is more policy sensitive, was up just one basis points.
The rise in the yields contradicted a 0.5% drop seen in the pan-European Euro Stoxx index. However, the losses have been trimmed ahead of the US opening bell. As of writing, the S&P 500 futures were down just 2.5 points.
