treasury prices

U.S. Treasury prices fell Wednesday after voters elected Barack Obama president, even as stock futures edged lower.

U.S. Treasury prices rose Tuesday as details of the government's proposed $700 billion bailout of the financial services industry remained sketchy.

Treasury prices dipped on Tuesday after the Federal Reserve announced its decision to hold the key federal funds rate steady at 2%, a move that most traders were expecting.

However, the statement from the Fed indicated much more concern about the threat of inflation than was expected.
