U.S. Treasury yields start the week lower

CNBC reports that U.S. Treasury yields fell on Monday morning, with investor focus on minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting, due to be published on Wednesday.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell 2.4 basis points to 1.273%. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond gave up nearly 1.6 basis points, falling to 1.932%. 

Investors’ focus this week will likely be on the Fed’s latest meeting minutes, as they search for any clues as to when the central bank might start paring back its asset purchases.

There are no major data releases due out on Monday.
