what happened
According to Dow Jones Newswires, the Australian 10-year government bond yield dipped below 5% on Friday during early Asian trading. The move coincided with a selloff in US Treasurys.
Markets are gauging how likely it is that a Congress led by Democrats will slow the race to develop artificial intelligence. The yield had hit a 15-year high just above 5.40% in early October and has been retreating for the past month.
why it matters
Analysts see the market moving back to normal: yields are behaving as usual, and bonds are again providing income and diversification. A State Street strategist says Democratic control will bring more scrutiny of data centers but will not end AI investment. Non-farm payrolls data was named as the nearest market catalyst.
