大家期望的利率下跌往往和实际不符呀。
NEW YORK (AP) -- Treasury prices are taking a plunge even after the Federal
Reserve stepped into the market to buy government bonds.
The Fed bought its first batch of Treasurys on Friday since announcing its $
600 billion plan to boost the economy last week. The central bank picked up
$7.23 billion in Treasurys coming due between 2014 and 2016.
The Fed's Treasury purchases are supposed to drive down long-term interest
rates over the long term. But Treasury prices dropped Friday, sending their
yields sharply higher.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury jumped to 2.76 percent, the highest yield
since Sept. 16. The two-year yield rose to 0.51 percent. It had hovered
around 0.40 percent since late September.
