[Capital Economics: The decline in ultra-long U.S. government bond yields is unlikely to last long] Thomas Mathews of Capital Economics said in a report that the recent decline in ultra-long government bond yields is unlikely to last long. This week's 30-year U.S. Treasury auction showed that demand remains strong, but structural problems "are still lurking behind the scenes," said the head of Asia-Pacific markets. He said that the U.S. financial accounts for the second quarter showed that traditional buyers of long-term U.S. Treasuries, such as defined-income pension funds and life insurance companies, did not increase their holdings at all in the second quarter. According to Tradeweb data, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 0.1 basis points to 4.659%, having hit 5.002% on September 3.
