U.S. 30-year yield falls to lowest since early April

BY Reuters | TREASURY | 10/14/25 05:47 AM EDT

LONDON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - The yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury bond dropped to its lowest since April 8's tariff turmoil on Tuesday, as worries about a re-escalation inU.S. China trade tensions sent investors scrambling to the safety of government bonds.

The U.S. 30-year yield dropped just over 3 basis points to 4.6%, falling past the lows of both early September and late April.

Just a few months ago, investors around the world were worrying about what seemed like a relentless rise in super-long dated bonds around the world, but such worries have since eased.

The U.S. 10-year yield dropped 4 bps to 4.01%, and rate sensitive two-year yield dropped 5 bps to 3.47%.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
