Bonds MOVE

Benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields extended their autumn surge into November, rising another 5 basis points from overnight levels to 4.345%, the highest since early July, following on from the biggest bond market selloff in two years last month.

Shorter-term yields are also on the move, with 2-year notes rising to 4.164% as investors picked through this week’s mixed jobs, inflation and consumer spending data.

The Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate, better-known as the MOVE index and a key gauge of bond market volatility, was last marked at 135.18, a 36% increase over the past 3 months and the highest levels since May of 2023.
