Advice:
Treasuries rose the most in three weeks as stock markets declined after the International Monetary Fund cut its economic forecasts and said there is an “alarmingly high” risk of a steeper slowdown. The gains pushed 30-year bond yields down from within a basis point of the highest level in more than two weeks as investors sought the securities as a haven. U.S. debt was also buoyed as European Union ministers prepared to meet in Luxembourg amid a lack of clarity about whether Spain will ask for external financial aid. The U.S. plans to sell three-year notes today, the first of three auctions of coupon-bearing Treasuries this week totaling $66 billion.
