NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Treasuries added to
earlier losses Friday, sending long bonds down two points in
price as investors continued a sell-off following a speech by
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
The speech gave no hint of specific new plans to buy
Treasuries but stocks also recovered from earlier lows, adding
to pressure on safe-haven government bonds.
The 30-year Treasury bond was last down 2-4/32
in price, yielding 3.62 percent.
