A sell-off in US bonds pushed long-term yields to their highest level since 2004, according to a Financial Times summary published on Friday.
The market was heading for its worst week since 2024. The summary did not give a weekly performance figure or say whether that outcome was confirmed.
One investor said investors did not want to hold risk going into the weekend. The comment reflects one view and the source material gives no reason for the reluctance.
The summary provided no specific yield level or explanation for the bond selling.
