BARCLAYS SEES TREASURY YIELDS STAYING HIGH Barclays says growing reliance on price-sensitive private investors could keep long-term U.S. Treasury yields near multi-decade highs. Private investors now hold about 73% of the Treasury market, up from roughly 50% a decade ago. With Fed and foreign central-bank demand declining, investors are demanding higher returns to absorb rising debt supply amid persistent inflation and budget deficits. The 30-year yield recently approached 5.28%.(*Walter Bloomberg)
