The 10-year Treasury yield is having its steepest drop since late-July to early-August 2011 — the days surrounding Standard & Poor's downgrade of the nation's credit rating. The precipitous drop is reminiscent in timing, duration and magnitude of the steep drop during the 10-day period in 2011. During the last 9 sessions, the 10-year yield has lost more than 40 basis points and was right around 2% before the drop. In comparison, back in 2011, the 10-year yield lost about 80 basis points over 10 sessions and was right around 3% before the steep drop.
