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.

Treasuries:
Treasury prices rose yesterday, pushing down yields on 2‐year notes to an all‐time low, as investors around the world sought U.S. debt in response 
to the Federal Reserve’s new asset plan and its dourer outlook for the world’s largest economy. The demand for Treasury debt stayed strong at the 
government’s 10‐year note auction, which came at the lowest yield since January 2009. Yields on 2‐year notes remained steady at  0.52%, after 
touching 0.48% earlier in the session. Yields on 10‐year notes declined 6 basis points to 2.69%, probing further down to a level not seen since April 
2009. Bonds posted solid gains as other markets indicated a downshift in investors’ appetite for risky assets, like stocks, and increased interest in 
sectors deemed safer, including the U.S dollar. Late yesterday, voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee ended their monetary‐

proceeds from maturing mortgage debt back into the Treasury market, as many analysts had expected. Earlier, the government sold 3‐year notes

Treasuries:
Treasury prices rose on Friday, pushing yields on 2‐year notes to a record low, after a weak report on the labor market raised expectations that the 
Federal Reserve may take steps next week to support the faltering U.S. economy. One possibility expected by Goldman Sachs is that officials will set
plans to reinvest cash from maturing assets they bought during the financial crisis back into the bond market. Yields on 10‐year notes fell 8 basis 
points to 2.83%. They had dropped as low as 2.82%, a 16‐month low. Yields on 2‐year notes fell 3 basis points to 0.51%. They earlier touched 
0.49%, the lowest level on record. Yields on 30‐year bonds declined 4 basis points to 4.01%. The Labor Department said private employers added 
71,000 jobs in July, fewer than analysts expected. Including government employees, the economy lost 131,000 jobs. A smaller drop was 
anticipated, mostly due to the loss of temporary census jobs. Economic Data: Nonfarm Productivity, Unit Labor Costs, ABC Consumer Confidence,

committee and any new statements on the outlook or measures to aid the economy that may emerge from it. Yields on 5‐year bonds rose 3 basis

Treasury prices rose yesterday, pushing yields toward the lowest in more than a year, after a report showed the number of Americans applying for 
initial unemployment benefits climbed more than analysts expected. The report comes one day before the government’s monthly payrolls report, 
one of the most closely‐followed economic indicators for the U.S. While private employers are forecast to have hired people, investor confidence in
the recovery has been shaken. Yields on 10‐year notes fell 4 basis points to 2.91%. Yields on 2‐year notes declined 3 basis point to 0.54%. Jobless 
claims rose by 19,000 to 479,000 in the latest week. That’s the highest level since April. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected claims 
to drop to 453,000. The economy is expected to have lost 60,000 jobs in July due to firing by the government after the Census was completed. 
Investors and traders will focus on private‐sector payrolls, which are forecast to have added 100,000 jobs.
