Worst Bond-Market Rut In 52 Years Shows Few Signs Of Break Out

FYI: The world’s most important bond market is stuck in its worst rut in more than half a century.

Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields have been locked between 2.01 percent and 2.63 percent in 2017 -- a measly 62 basis points. That’s the tightest trading range since 1965, when William McChesney Martin ran the Federal Reserve, Lyndon B. Johnson was president and Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic Dune hit shelves. And it’s less than half the annual average span of 175 basis points, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
