NEW YORK - U.S. Treasury debt yields fell on Wednesday, with 30-year yields setting all-time lows, as fears about a recession and trade tensions between China and the United States stoked unrelenting demand for low-risk government debt.
Inversion is spreading across the U.S. yield curve, where short-dated yields are running above long-dated ones, which has also unsettled investors as yield curve inversion often precedes a recession. Investors added to their safe-haven holdings of Treasuries as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson sought to limit parliament’s opportunity to derail his Brexit plan by suspending the House of Commons for around a month, starting in mid-September.Treasury prices pared their gains as Wall Street rose, reversing earlier losses.
“It’s hard to see where the endgame is with the trade tensions,” said James Barnes, director of fixed income at The Bryn Mawr Trust Co. in Devon, Pennsylvania.Interest rates futures implied traders fully expect the U.S. central bank to lower key borrowing costs by at least a quarter point at its Sept. 17-18 policy meeting, following up on its first rate cut since 2008.
