Investors entered April in a more sanguine mood after one of the worst quarters for long-term bonds in 40 years.
U.S. yields are drifting back lower as the second quarter kicks in despite a blowout U.S. jobs report for March, the highest reading for service sector growth ever, trillions of dollars of more government spending in the pipeline and ongoing inflation angst. And it's not entirely clear why.
