Treasurys Rise on Poor U.S. Growth
By MIN ZENG
NEW YORK—A U.S. government report that showed disappointing economic growth in the second quarter added to anxiety about the growth outlook, sending investors into safe-haven Treasury bonds.
The data showed the U.S. economy grew at a meager pace of 1.3% during the last quarter, lower than 1.8% forecast by economists.
Treasury prices had risen ahead of the report due to worries about the debt woes in both the U.S. and the euro zone that potentially undermined the global economic outlook.
Moody's Investors Service Friday put Spain's Aa2 ratings on review for possible downgrade. The debt debate persisted in the U.S. after House Speaker John Boehner's plan to raise the U.S. federal government's borrowing limit was postponed as it failed to garner enough support from the Republicans.
In recent trade, the benchmark 10-year note was 18/32 higher to yield 2.885%. Bond prices move inversely to their yields. The two-year note was 2/32 higher to yield 0.391% while the 30-year bond was 20/32 higher to yield 4.218%.
