30-year US Treasury yields hit record high

NEW YORK (Reuters) – US 30-year Treasury yields fell to a record low of 2% on Thursday, while 10-year benchmark yields fell to their lowest level in three years, as concerns about trade tensions and the slowdown in the global economy persisted.

US 2-year Treasury yields hit their lowest level in almost two years.

Afternoon in the New York market, the 10-year benchmark US Treasury yields reached a low of 1.475% in three years, which is not far from the record lows of 1.321% reached early July 2016.

The 30-year Treasury yield fell to a record low of 1.916%. The two-year Treasury yield fell to 1.467%, its lowest level in almost two years.
