U.S. Bond Yields Drastically Falling - What Are They?

Bond yields in the United States have been drastically falling, with the 10-year Treasury note dropping to a new record low. It comes on the back of the growing coronavirus concerns that are spooking the markets.

More than 80,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed, the vast majority in China. The disease has killed 3,000 deaths people, including at least 2,600 in China, according to the World Health Organization.

Investors are frantically seeking safe-haven assets, with bonds, of course, being the safest of safe havens, a fixed-income instrument. Given the incredibly high demand for them, the bond yields are being driven south.
