NEW LOWS: A surprisingly weak employment report helped push Treasury yields down to new lows. The note on the two-year hit 0.39 percent and the five-year 1.13 percent. Both are all-time lows.
THE BENCHMARK: The closely watched 10-year yield, which influences interest rates on mortages and corporate debt, reached its lowest point this year: 2.39 percent.
FURTHER TO FALL: Investors say more dismal economic data and a move by the Federal Reserve to buy bonds could push rates lower still.
