Benchmark yields dip to lowest in at least 60 years


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields dipped below 1.908 percent on Friday to the lowest in at least 60 years, while 30-year bonds traded over a point higher in price as investors bought into the safe-haven of U.S. government debt.

    Benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields traded at 1.896 percent, the lowest since World War II and down from 1.98 percent late Thursday.

    Thirty-year bonds were trading 1-10/32 higher in price to yield 3.25 percent from 3.31 percent late Thursday.
