treasury yields

Bad news is good news for Treasury investors, and recently, there has been a whole lot of bad news. Mortgage rates, however, have not fallen with Treasury yields, but an $800 billion government bailout could change all of that.

Treasury yields bounced back Friday, as investors bet that stocks would rally from a precipitous decline - a day after yields hit all-time lows in a warning that credit markets remain vulnerable and investors are hungry for the safety of government debt.
