The U.S. Treasuries were pushed lower across the curve Monday as investors moved away from safe-haven buying after Democrat Hillary Clinton holds a four-point lead over Republican Donald Trump in the final national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll of the 2016 presidential race.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to its price, rose 5 basis points to 1.83 percent, the yield on long-term 30-year Treasury climbed 3 basis point to 2.60 percent and the yield on short-term 2-year note bounced 5 basis points to 0.842 percent by 12:00 GMT.
Global Treasury yields jumped Monday after FBI Director James Coney released an official statement over the weekend saying that Hillary Clinton has been cleared of all charges, remaining stern in their conclusions expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton. This announcement removed clouds of suspicion around her campaign and potential Presidency.
According to latest polls from WSJ/NBC, Clinton is still ahead in the election but Trump is with all the momentum. She is ahead 44 percent to 40 percent in the poll but that's down from 48 percent to 37 percent in a poll from the same firm in mid-October. The survey has Johnson at 6 percent and Stein at 1 percent.
Markets now look ahead to a relatively light week in terms of data, likely to be dominated by the lead-up to and results of the US elections on Tuesday. Additionally, markets receive 3-year Note, 10-year Note and 30Yr Bond auctions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Futures traded 28.75 points higher at 2,108.75 by 12:40 GMT.
