Australian government bonds plunged Monday following weakness in the U.S. Treasuries as investors reduced bond holdings on worries about more inflation and federal borrowing after the U.S. Senate passed a budget blueprint.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to its price, rose more than 2 basis points to 2.809 percent, the yield on the long-term 30-year note also climbed 2-1/2 basis points to 3.573 percent and the yield on short-term 2-year traded nearly 1 basis point higher at 1.950 percent by 02:40GMT.
U.S. Treasury yields rose on Friday, with two-year yields reaching a near nine-year high, as investors reduced bond holdings on worries about more inflation and federal borrowing after the U.S. Senate passed a budget resolution, Reuters reported.
The move late Thursday raised expectations the Republican-controlled Congress and U.S. President Donald Trump would be able to enact their tax-cut package, which would widen the federal deficit by up to $1.5 trillion over the next decade.
Last week, Australia’s unemployment rate has fallen to 5.5 percent, official figures show, beating market expectations.
