BOND REPORT: Treasury Yields Jump To Fresh Two-year Highs NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasury prices extended a slide from last week into Monday, pushing government debt yields up to fresh two-year highs as monetary-policy uncertainty continued to roil the markets. The 10-year Treasury note (10_YEAR) yield, which moves inversely to price, rose 6.5 basis points to 2.890%. The benchmark yield, which has climbed over 75% since the beginning of May, is once again on pace to close at its highest level since July 2011, following a 24.5-basis-point-rise last week. The 30-year bond (30_YEAR) yield rose 5.5 basis point to 3.904%, on track for its highest close since August 2011. The 5-year note (5_YEAR) yield rose 5 basis points to 1.621%, on track for its highest close since July 2011. "Ten-year yields have moved out of the range they've been in since mid-2011. You've broken that technical support level," said Michael Cloherty, head of U.S. interest-rate strategy at RBC Capital Markets.
