The 10-year yield, which until fiscal concerns in Spain and Greece increased Wednesday had a 52-week low of 1.7%, dropped even further to below 1.6% Thursday morning, according to Yahoo Finance.
The Thursday morning decline follows the release of a report suggesting U.S. private sector job growth is weaker than many thought.
As of midmorning the benchmark yield had fallen at one point to as low as 1.57%.
