30-year bond prices extend earlier losses

26 Mar, 2012

NEW YORK: Prices on US 30-year Treasury bonds briefly fell one full point early Monday, extending earlier losses with German Bunds, after a magazine report that Germany was considering combining two bailout funds temporarily to deal with the region's debt crisis.

The 30-year bond last traded down 29/32 in price for a yield of 3.36 percent, up 5 basis points from late Friday. The 30-year yield is flirting with its 200-day moving average of 3.3717, according to Tradeweb.
