Abstract
- The article discusses lower yields on U.S. bonds as of November 19, 2012. Yields on Treasuries continued their long-term downtrend on new concerns regarding the fiscal cliff and escalating military crisis in the Middle East. Municipal bonds reportedly held steady while corporate bonds slumped, with high-yield bonds experiencing their second-largest downturn in 2012. Junk bond yields, which are inversely related to price, rose and now average 6.74% from 6.2% in less than a month.
