US bonds: Slightly higher – Europe still closed

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – US government bonds rose slightly during trading on Tuesday. The futures contract for ten-year bonds (T-Note Future) was last quoted 0.12 percent higher at 112.73 points. The yield for ten-year government securities fell to 3 .88 percent.

Many markets, especially in Europe, are still closed and trading volumes are likely to be correspondingly low. The published data on the US real estate market showed a further increase in prices, but some of the expectations of experts were not met./he
