Global bond yields fall to record low on bleak inflation outlook


SINGAPORE: A gauge of global bond yields approached a record low, reflecting the outlook for slowing inflation as oil prices tumbled and the dollar traded near a five-year high.

The record was 1.29% set May 2, 2013, based on the data starting in 1996. Japanese and Australian bonds advanced yesterday, pushing yields to the lowest levels this year.
