Treasury Yields Drop to Lowest Level in Two Months Before Powell Speaks

 

US Treasury yields fell to the lowest level in two months before Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks Tuesday, amid growing political pressure to cut interest rates.

 

The 10-year yield fell three basis points to 4.19%, a level last seen on May 1. Powell will appear on a panel of global central bankers in Sintra, Portugal, later as the US administration steps up its criticism of the Fed as being too slow to reduce borrowing costs.
