**Benchmark U.S. 10-Year Yield Falls Below 4%, Hits Lowest Level Since Early April**
U.S. Treasury yields slid on Thursday as investors shunned risky equities and flocked to the safety of bonds. The benchmark 10-year yield (US10Y) fell below the key 4% level for the first time since early September, reaching its lowest point since early April.
**Quick Insights**
Investors moved money from equities to bonds amid growing concerns over trade tensions, weak labor data, and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Statements from Fed governors signaling imminent rate cuts have further pushed yields lower, as the market anticipates easier monetary policy ahead.
Additionally, weakness in regional banks, underscored by rising bad loans, has increased demand for safe-haven bonds. This heightened demand has contributed to the further decline in Treasury yields.
