Fed declines to comment on hedge fund rumors
WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve declined to comment on rumors that swept through New York financial markets on Friday about an emergency Fed meeting to deal with a troubled hedge fund.

''As a matter of policy, we don't respond to rumors,'' a Fed spokesman said in response to a question about a possible meeting dealing with a hedge fund.

Prices for bellwether 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds were down sharply at midday by 23/32 of a point to yield 6.12 percent, partly because of a rumored Fed meeting about a bailout for a hedge fund, according to Wall Street traders.
