The global bond rout intensified Monday, with a gauge of Treasuries volatility surging to the highest since February, on expectations that President-elect Donald Trump will increase government spending to boost economic growth and stoke inflation.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbed to 2.26 percent, the highest closing level since Jan. 1. The move marks a quick reversal -- just four months ago, it touched a record-low 1.318 percent, surprising analysts who back in January predicted it would end the year at 2.75 percent.
