How to Buy U.S. Treasury Bonds ! The Best Way to Trade with Options !

U.S. Treasury yields continued their retreat on Thursday, with the entire yield curve erasing the gains made after last Friday's nonfarm payroll report. The decline was particularly sharp in long-term yields.The most attention-grabbing news on Thursday was Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller’s speech. Once a prominent hawk within the Fed, Waller now appears to have fully shifted to a dovish stance. He indicated that the Fed might cut rates three to four times this year and didn’t rule out a rate cut as early as March.Market data shows that Waller’s comments led to a widespread overnight decline in Treasury yields across maturities. The 2-year yield fell 3.4 basis points to 4.238%, the 5-year yield dropped 4.8 basis points to 4.404%, the 10-year yield declined 3.9 basis points to 4.
