Treasury two-year notes reach their 5 months High as the U.S. economy unexpectedly lost jobs in December, giving a signal that the labor market has yet to emerge from its worst slump since World War II.

Yield difference Between 2- and 10-year U.S. debt widened
Between 2- and 10-year U.S. debt the yield difference has been expanded to near the most ever before that the Treasury sells $84 billion in notes and bonds next week.
Policy makers decided to keep Interest rates near zero
It has been revealed by the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s December meeting that was released on Jan. 6 that policy makers are intended to keep interest rates near zero for an extended period and it also shows that more stimulus might be needed.
Two-year note’s yield fell 17 basis points on the week
According to BGCantor Market Data, the two-year note’s yield fell 17 basis points on the week, or 0.17 percentage point, to 0.97%. That’s the highest since it fell 25 basis points over the five days that were ended on Aug. 14.
Yesterday the yield curve touched 287 basis points. On Dec. 22 it reached 288 basis points amid concern an accelerating recovery would hurt demand at sales of U.S. debt.
