OT: Volatility in Bonds

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Perhaps the most interesting development of the day was the reversal of last week's trend, in which the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond's yield dropped below the 10-year Treasury note's yield. This morning, the bond's yield dipped 8 basis points below the note's yield, a degree of yield curve inversion that hasn't been seen since 1990, and then abruptly reversed.
