 Answer: In response to the banking and economic crises, the U.S. Government undertook policies to reduce interest rates in an attempt to stimulate economic activity. In addition, the recession caused a decrease in the demand for borrowed funds, and investors, scared off by large declines in the stock market, moved money into safer U.S. Treasury securities. Increasing Treasury prices mean lower yields.
