IMF Outlook Holds US 2-Yr Yields Below 2%

The IMF's recently released global outlook is holding the US 2-yr yield below 2% says Sean Simko, fixed-income portfolio manager at SEI. Separately, part of why longer-dated Treasurys have gotten to this point is
because of expectations that the Federal Reserve will announce Operation Twist on Wednesday. "At this point, if the committee doesn't announce this measure and disappoints, credibility will be severely damaged," Simko says. A failure to meet expectations would risk a slide in equities and painful spike in long-end Treasurys yields. Benchmark 10-year notes recently down 2/32 in price to yield 1.949% and 30-year bonds down 12/32 to yield 3.211%.
