The yield on US Treasuries continued to fall as data was released lagging.

The yield on U.S. Treasury bonds has declined as the U.S. government released data that was delayed due to last year's prolonged government shutdown. The producer price index in November accelerated to 0.2% from 0.1% in October, higher than economists' previous forecast of 0.3% growth. Also in November, retail sales increased by 0.6%, surpassing the average expectation of 0.4%, compared to a 0.1% decline in October. Tomorrow, weekly initial jobless claims are expected to rise from 208,000 to 215,000. Some analysts believe that geopolitical tensions and President Trump's criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell have boosted demand for U.S. Treasury bonds. The 10-year Treasury bond yield is at 4.156% and the 2-year Treasury bond yield is at 3.518%.
