Entire Treasury yield curve below 1%

U.S. Treasury yields plunge across the board to record lows, with the entire curve briefly trading below 1% for the first time in history, exacerbated by an oil price war on top of deteriorating global equity markets.
A few minutes ago, 10-year yields had dropped as much as 28 basis points to 0.48%, while the 30-year fell to 0.99% and the two-year yield shed 18 bps to 0.33%.
“The market is panicking,” Shinji Hiramatsu, senior investment manager at Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Asset Management in Tokyo, tells Bloomberg. “Position adjustment, loss-cut buying and all sorts of buying are emerging. Everybody’s buying Treasuries.”
