US Treasury yields fell on the weak data
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The US Treasury yields fell on Thursday with benchmark yields retreating from 3-1/2 week highs as investors preferred treasuries amid signs of slowdown in the US housing market.
Weak economic data supported treasuries
Treasury prices rose after the data in the US showed a larger-than-expected 11.4% drop in domestic new home sales in March, together with disappointing factory data in China and Eurozone triggered concerns regarding a slowdown in the global economy. Meanwhile, uneasiness about Greece and its future in the euro zone also underpinned safe-haven demand for Treasuries.
Benchmark US 10-year Treasury note yields fell 3.5 basis points to 1.937, while the 30-year yield slipped 3 basis points to 2.623%.
Meanwhile, the Treasury Department sold USD 18 billion of five-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities to mediocre demand.
