Stocks fall after weak auction of 10-year notes Stocks fall as weak 10-year note auction raises worries about inflation, interest rates Madlen Read, AP Business Writer On Wednesday June 10, 2009, 1:19 pm EDT Buzz up! Print.NEW YORK (AP) -- A weak auction of Treasury notes is putting the pressure on both stocks and bonds. The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 65 points Wednesday after the government sold $19 billion in 10-year Treasury notes. The government had to lure buyers with a higher yield than the market anticipated. The 10-year note's yield, which is closely tied to interest rates on mortgages and other consumer loans, jumped to 3.99 percent, a new high for the year. Investors are concerned the government's debt load will become untenable, leading to higher inflation and soaring interest rates. Rising rates could hamper the economy's recovery. By early afternoon, the Dow fell 64.17, or 0.7 percent, to 8,698.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 8.42, or 0.9 percent, at 934.01. The Nasdaq composite index fell 20.86, or 1.1 percent, to 1,839.27.

I am a citizen of the planet I was born here I'm going to die here Come what may I am entitled by my birth To the treasures of the earth No one must be denied these No one must be denied Easy dreams At the end of a chain-smokin' day Easy dreams at the end of the day Who am I to believe That the future we perceive Lies in danger and the dangers increase Who are we to demand That the leaders of the land Hear the voices of reason and peace We are the citizens of the planet We were born here We're going to die here Come what may We are entitled by our birth To the treasures of the earth No one must be denied these No one must be denied Easy dreams at the end of a chain-smokin' day Easy dreams at the end of the day Who am I to deny What my eyes can clearly see And raise a child with a flame in his heart Who are we to believe That these thoughts are so naive When we've all disagreed from the start We are the citizens of the planet We were born here We're gong to die here Come what may We are entitled by our birth To the treasures of the earth No one must be denied these No one must be denied Easy dreams at the end of a chain-smokin' day Easy dreams at the end of the day Simon And Garfunkel
