20y zero Treasuries was 4.73% this am and just looked 4.51%


First time really watching rates seems very volatile

If yields fall it’s not crashing it’s because of Treasurys rallying or increasing in price which is a flight to safety.

Will treasury yield potentially stay higher due to all the issuance we will need to do going forward to pay bills

That probably has to do with the inventory available. To be clear, yields on the 20y hardly budged.

It doesn't have anything to do with supply. The curve has shifted down since September's seasonal upward shift. Pin it today and toggle the date back. Forward curves are falling and swap spreads are turning negative. It's the bond market signaling a change in growth and inflation expectations.

Might have been timing on when I looked what was available. Aka after 5pm?

I realize the trend, but a 20bps move on 20y treasuries in one day is probably related to what Fidelity or the platform had available. It’s not because rates moved 20bps yesterday. Thats my point.

That’s definitely a possibility and one of the reasons I believe rates have stayed higher for a little bit longer.
