at the lowest yield on record, indicating continued interest in Treasury securities. Yields on 10‐year notes dropped 8 basis points to 2.75%.   Yields 
on 2‐year notes fell 2 basis points to 0.52%. The yields declined to an all‐time low of 0.50% on Friday after disappointing monthly employment data

concentrate its purchases in the 2‐ to 10‐year sector. Yields on 30‐year bonds recently fell 2 basis points to 3.99%.The Federal Open Market
