By Staff | January 11, 2012 | Last updated on January 11, 2012 1 min read Just when you thought fixed income yields couldn’t get any lower, the U.S. Treasury auction sets yet another record low for 10 year notes. Today’s $21 billion auction set the yield at 1.90%. Bidders would have snapped up far more of the notes if they’d been on offer, with demand outstripping supply by a factor of 3.19. Demand from foreign central banks waned, as these buyers accounted for 38.3% of the sale, down from an average of 46.9%.
