Treasury futures declined after a YouGov Plc survey indicated the “Remain” vote held a lead following the U.K.’s referendum on its membership in the European Union.
U.S. 10-year note futures contracts for September delivery fell 1/8 to 130 22/32 as of 6:01 p.m. in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That comes after a decline of 17/32 on Thursday during regular U.S. trading hours. The poll showed 52 percent voted to remain in the 28-nation bloc and 48 percent chose to leave, in line with earlier surveys, YouGov’s Joe Twyman said in an interview on Sky News.
