10 Year Treasury Yield Dips Below 1%

edited March 2020 in Off-Topic
The yield was at 0.985% when I snapped this shot. It was still trending down. Amazing.....Its fair to expect there will be more volatility at minimum over the short term.....

  • Thanks for the post.

    At about 2:06 pm, more or less; for a few nano seconds or whatever the speed is for the machines; the rate was at .908% yield.

    Yes. 0.00% no longer seems impossible to me! Its interesting to click on the link and then to click on Max. It takes you back as far as 4/1/1962 and clearly shows the history being made daily by these low rates.....Something unprecedented appears to be occurring.

    Well, since the creditworthiness of the government certainly hasn't improved lately one can only speculate that perhaps it's all due to unprecedented confidence in the personal credit rating of the president.

    As I type this, the yield has dropped to 0.438%. Perhaps we'll get to 0.00% very quickly indeed!

    ORK. I don't like this at all. And Lombardy (north Italy) is in lockdown, like Wuhan is/was. I saw a headline that said "Italy's stocks fail to trade." But there was no follow-up. Their bourse is in Milan, I understand. But then it was reported that Milan was way down, by almost -10%. Again, I say: ORK!
