On Thursday, yields on U.S. Treasury notes declined, with the benchmark 10-year note falling below 2.9 per cent.
This decline was caused by a combination of factors, including weak economic data and the fact that the European Central Bank recently raised interest rates for the first time in 11 years, which led investors to focus their attention on the possibility of an economic slowdown.
The drop in the yield on the 10-year Treasury note was the largest for any day since March 2020, reaching 16 basis points.
The most recent indications that the United States economy is slowing down under the weight of rising interest rates and high inflation are the number of Americans enrolling for unemployment benefits rising to its highest level in eight months last week and a gauge of factory activity falling this month. These are the latest indications.
