Interest rates may hit their lowest point since November 2010.
The Federal Reserve Bank this morning cancelled their bond auction, catching the Bond Market by surprise. Initially, there was an official "No Comment" on the cancellation by the Fed, but shortly thereafter, the reason was given as "market volatility." I've seen nothing on Bloomberg yet, but expect something shortly.
Of course, the stock market volatility today is sparked by the nuclear situation in Japan.
Demand for the 10 year bond picked up overnight, and then spiked on news of the cancellation of the bond auction. (Interest rates fall when demand for bonds rises.)
