Short-term US Treasury yields hit 3-yr highs

By Pedro Nicolaci da Costa

NEW YORK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Short-term U.S. Treasury yields hit three-year highs on Friday after upward revisions to fourth-quarter economic growth reinforced expectations for more interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

Betting that rising official rates would continue to pressure short-term debt, investors piled into longer-dated maturities and so flattened the yield curve further.

The move sent yields on the new two-year note (US2YT=RR: Quote, Profile, Research) briefly to 3.55 percent, their highest since April 2002, having fetched 3.498 percent at a poorly received auction on Thursday before the yield eased back to 3.53 percent.

In contrast, yields on the 30-year bond (US30YT=RR: Quote, Profile, Research) dipped to 4.63 percent from 4.67 percent as traders saw better value in longer-dated debt.

Also favoring longer maturities were bond-friendly comments from Fed Board Governor Ben Bernanke late Thursday. Bernanke said he thought inflation appeared well contained and he was thus comfortable with the Fed's policy of hiking interest rates at a measured pace.

Further tightening was certainly to be expected if last quarter's growth picture extends into 2005.

The government's second take on gross domestic product showed growth revised up to an annualized 3.8 percent from the 3.1 percent first reported.

A smaller trade deficit and higher investment contributed to the change, though consumption was surprisingly revised down.

"More important are the developments for the first quarter -- with durable goods being strong yesterday we could be looking at first quarter GDP of about 4 percent," said David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities.

That would not be good news for bond bulls, although analysts note the market has been remarkably resilient to positive economic news in recent months.

Friday was a case in point. After some initial hesitation following release of the GDP data, traders bought right back into the long-end despite the news of stronger growth, in part because of relief that core inflation was not revised higher from an initial reading of 1.6 percent.

In afternoon trade, the benchmark 10-year note (US10YT=RR: Quote, Profile, Research) was up 5/32 for a yield of 4.27 percent from 4.29 percent on Thursday. Five-year notes were flat and yielding 3.91 percent.

The spread between 10- and two-year debt was now back at 73 basis points, ever closer to a 1-1/2-year low hit two weeks ago.

Traders also suspected that month-end buying would offer some support to prices with funds that track bond indices facing a large extension in duration because of this month's refunding auctions.

Benchmark duration for the Lehman Portfolio Bond index for Treasuries is expected to lengthen by around 0.09 years compared to a 12-month average of 0.05 years.

Figures on U.S. home sales caused some confusion as the National Association of Realtors included condos for the first time but sharply revised down the previous level of existing home sales.

Thus December home sales are now reported as 5.97 million instead of the originally reported 6.69 million, and they declined slightly to 5.94 million in January. Adding in sales of condos of 858,000 gave an annual rate of 6.80 million.

Despite the downward revision to the level of single family home sales, growth was still a healthy 12.5 percent for the year and thus not especially weak.
