Hi everyone.
My name is Betty Liu

Alright, first question:
That's a great question.
So, the bond market is the way people
describe the marketplaces,
the primary and secondary marketplaces
where debt securities are issued
by public and private sector entities.
So, there's a lot of different types of bonds.
There is muni bonds, federal government bonds,
corporate bonds.
US treasuries are federal government bonds
that people typically go into or buy in order
to seek some safe haven from the market conditions.
So, as you can imagine, investors are seeking
safe haven assets.
And that means that they're piling into US treasuries,
whether it's the two year or the 30 year.
And that means that those treasury prices are rising,
and the yields are falling to record lows.
That's your Money In 60 Seconds.
