The relentless bids in the U.S. Treasury market continue, with the 10-year Treasury yield closing last week at 2.41%. Given the fierce rebound in the high-yield market – with key high yield ETFs trading at fresh 52-week highs – I would have expected “risk free” investments like Treasuries to have higher yields but the global economy is much weaker than the U.S. economy and the U.S. offers the highest interest rates of any developed market. Simply put, there aren't any government bonds to buy other than the U.S.
