"In the bond market, prices continued their ascent as investors shifted out of the agency market and into Treasurys following comments on Wednesday from Treasury Undersecretary for Domestic Finance Gary Gensler.

A rout in the agency market was sparked Wednesday after Gensler's comments that Treasury would recommend to Congress that it cut off seldom-used credit lines backing agency issuers. The remarks produced a wave of selling in the agency markets and a huge rotation into government issues, benefiting the intermediate area of the curve in particular.

The 10-year Treasury note jumped 23/32 to yield 6.03 percent while the 30-year bond surged 1 10/32 to yield 5.88 percent."

From Reuters:

"Municipals appeared to be tracking rising U.S. Treasury prices, which have improved as investors shifted assets to Treasuries from agency and corporate debt on the heels of a Treasury official's reminder that debt from agencies like Fannie Mae <FNM.N> and Freddie Mac <FRE.N> is not guaranteed by the government."

Thank you, Mr. Treasury Undersecretary. Not only have you enriched me today, you have set the equity markets on fire by pushing treasury rates lower again. That is wealth effect for everyone. Bond holders and equity holders will party all day. Greenspan must love you guys.

You can't fight the treasury.
