US government bonds rally after factory data heighten recession fears

Wall Street equities rise following their worst first half of a year performance since 1970

US government bonds rallied sharply on Friday after a gloomy report on America’s factory sector intensified concerns over the outlook for the world’s biggest economy.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, a benchmark for global government bond markets as well as consumer loans and mortgages, dropped 0.13 percentage points to 2.88 per cent in thin trading before a holiday weekend in the US. The yield has fallen nearly 0.3 percentage points over the past three days in the biggest such moves since 2020.
