Treasury yields dip following dovish Fed message

15 July 2021 16:06 (UTC +04:00)

U.S. Treasury yields fell on Thursday morning, following a dovish message on monetary policy from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in the previous session, APA reports citing CNBC.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell almost 4 basis points to 1.317% at 3:50 a.m. ET. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond dipped nearly 5 basis points to 1.94%. Yields move inversely to prices.

In a testimony on Wednesday, Powell told the U.S. House Financial Services Committee that the U.S. economy is “a ways off” from where it needs to be for the Fed to tighten its easy monetary policy.

Powell is due to speak in front of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs at 9:30 a.m. ET on Thursday.
