4. Статья. U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note Yield (доходность 10-ти летних облигаций) May Hold Near 4%, Survey Shows

Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- 10-year U.S. Treasury note's yield may hold near 4 percent, the lowest since April (самое низкое значение с Апреля), as speculation record high oil prices will slow the economy bolsters demand for government debt (на предположениях, что рекордно высокие цены на нефть замедлят экономику, что вызвало увеличение спроса на государственные облигации).

There's an expectation (that) higher oil prices will curtail economic activity (сократят экономическую активность),'' said Kenneth Taubes, who oversees (который управляет) $15 billion as director of fixed income (отдел по торговле облигациями) at Boston's Pioneer Investments. People generally like to buy bonds in that environment.''

The note's yield, which moves inversely (обратно пропорционально) to its price, dropped to a six-month low (упало до 6-ти месячного минимума) of 3.95 percent last week as crude oil closed above $55 a barrel for the first time. Further gains in energy prices may decrease consumer spending and curb (сдержать, сократить) corporate profits, bolstering speculation (поддеживая спекуляции, мнения) the Federal Reserve will slow the pace (скорость, темп) in interest-rate increases.

The 4 1/4 percent note due in August 2014 (Облигация с доходностью 4,25% и сроком погашения в августе 2014) rose almost 3/4 last week, or $7.50 per $1,000 face amount (на 1000 номинала), to 102 1/4, according (по данным)to bond broker Cantor Fitzgerald LP. Its yield fell 8 basis points, or 0.08 percentage point, to 3.98 percent. On Sept. 3, when crude oil was $44 a barrel, the yield was 4.30 percent. Rising oil prices will restrain (будет сдерживать) the global economy next year, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Rodrigo de Rato told reporters in Geneva on Oct. 22.
