The longest weekly rally in Treasuries since 2012 may find another gear as bond traders turn their focus to Osaka, where world leaders descend next week for a pivotal Group-of-20 meeting.
Yields on 10-year Treasuries broke below 2% for the first time since 2016 this week after the Federal Reserve signaled it’s ready to lower borrowing costs, prompting a flurry of bets that a rate cut will happen in July. Ahead of the G-20 meeting, strategists at NatWest Markets, Bank of America Corp. and elsewhere see little standing in the way of even lower yields.
