Treasury markets are moving lower again today as money leaves haven assets, pushing the yield on the US 10-year note back to 2.30%, while oil continues to trade with a heavy tone near the low for the year. High yield is opening up ΒΌ point generically in early trading after rallying in to the close last night as equities improved.
