The 30-Year T-Bond Hits Lowest Yield Ever

The 30-year T-Bond (^TYX) fell below 4%.

Treasuries rose, sending the yield on the 30-year bond to the lowest since regular issuance of the securities began in 1977, as widening financial turmoil wiped more than $10 trillion off stock markets worldwide this month.
U.S. notes rallied on speculation the global slowdown will deepen. The U.K. economy shrank more than forecast, a report showed today. Trading in U.S. stock-index futures was limited after declines of more than 6 percent. U.S. government securities returned 1.6 percent in October, the most since January, according to Merrill Lynch & Co.’s U.S. Treasury Master index, as tumbling stocks spurred demand for the safest assets.
