We’ve heard several bullish and bearish arguments toward US treasuries. The bullish case comes after the Fed’s newly appointed vice-chairman Richard Clarida reinforced the market’s view that the US central bank would be in no hurry to step up its pace of interest rate rises.[1] Following Clarida’s remarks Treasury yields dropped by ten basis points to 3.06%.
Equities continue to struggle but bond yields aren’t moving lower.
