CREDIT MARKETS

Treasuries:
Treasury prices declined yesterday, pushing long-term yields up from the lowest since at least April 2009 and reversing part of the prior session’s
gains, as stocks rallied and investors felt less need for the relative safety of U.S. debt. The fall in prices came alongside the Federal Reserve’s first
formal purchase of U.S. Treasury debt since last year, in which the central bank bought $2.551 billion in bonds. Yields on 2 -Year notes rose 1 basis
points to 0.5%. Yields on 10-year notes rose 6 basis points to 2.64%. Thirty-year bond yields rose 4 basis points to 3.76%, after having touched the

CREDIT MARKETS

Treasuries:
Treasury prices advanced yesterday, pushing 10-year yields to the lowest since March 2009, after reports on manufacturing in the New York region,
U.S. home-builder confidence and Japan’s growth fueled worries over the global economy and had investors buying assets perceived as safer. Yields
on 10-year notes fell 11 basis points to 2.69% after touching the lowest since March 2009. Yields on 2-year notes declined 4 basis points to 0.49%.
Yields on 30-year bonds dropped 16 basis points to 3.72%, the biggest decline since June 4. The National Association of Home Builders confidence
index unexpectedly declined to 13 in August. New York Federal Reserve Bank’s Empire State Manufacturing index rose to 7.1 in August from 5.1 in

CREDIT MARKETS

Treasuries:
Treasury prices rose Friday, pushing yields back toward significant lows, after a trio of reports on U.S. retail sales, inflation and consumer confidence
added to evidence that economic growth is slowing. Long-term Treasury yields have fallen since last Friday, while 2-year yields touched an all-time
low during the week, as data and comments from the Federal Reserve about the economy fueled a renewed interest in the relative safety of U.S.
government debt. Yields on 10-year notes fell 5 basis points to 2.69%, near the lowest point since April 2009. That’s down from 2.82% a week ago,
the biggest drop since the beginning of July and the third weekly decline. Two-year yields declined 1 basis points to 0.53%, after having touched a
record low set earlier this week. Yields on 2-year notes are up slightly from 0.51% last week, after falling for the past four weeks. Yields on 30-year
bonds fell 6 basis points to 3.88%. Thirty-year yields were at 3.92% a week ago. The Commerce Department said retail sales increased 0.4% in July,
a little less than economists expected.

Treasuries:
Treasury prices declined yesterday, pushing yields up from recent lows, as U.S. stocks stabilized following early losses, limiting demand for the 
relative safety of U.S. debt. Still, money managers and international investors were drawn to the government’s sale of 30‐year bonds, despite yields
coming at the lowest since March 2009. Two‐year yields rose 2 basis points to 0.54%, after having touched an all‐time low on Wednesday. Yields on
10‐year notes increased 5 basis points to 2.74%. On Wednesday, yields on the benchmark security fell to the lowest since April last year as 
investors around the world interpreted the Federal Reserve’s plan to recycle holdings into Treasurys as they mature as a sign of much deeper 
economic problems. Yields on the current 30‐year bond rose 2 basis points to 3.94%. Traders said that investors remain interested in fixed‐income 
assets but that the market is due for a correction after the recent rally.
