Longer-dated U.S. government bond yields steadied on Friday, as investor jitters over the Treasury Department's extended debt repurchase program and soaring national debt continue to weigh on markets. Yields on the 30-year U.S. Treasury note, the primary focus of the buyback plan, rose 1 basis point to 5.2508%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield — the key benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt — were largely unchanged at 4.7001%. The shorter-dated 2-year Treasury note yield, which more closely follows short-term Federal Reserve rate decisions, was also flat at 4.1828%. One basis point equals 0.01%, or 1/100th of 1%, and yields and prices move inversely to one another.
