U.S. Treasurys fell on Monday as safe haven-bids waned, having earlier been boosted by amid fresh upheaval in the Ukraine crisis and news that voters were leaning in favor of an independent Scotland.
Benchmark 10-year notes fell 4/32 in price bringing the yield up to 2.47 percent. U.S. 30-year Treasury bonds lost 4/32 in price, trading to yield 3.23 percent.
The latest poll reviewing the chances Scotland will vote for independence, carried out by British newspaper the Sunday Times, suggests the ‘Yes’ vote will narrowly scrape through, after a rising tide of support over the summer.
