Treasury yields rise, dollar down amid fiscal concerns after US downgrade

Quick Summary:

NEW YORK: Longer-dated Treasury yields gained while the dollar broadly eased on Monday amid concerns about the U.S.debt load and a tax-cut bill, following Moody's downgrade of the country's sovereign credit rating.

The other agencies had already downgraded the debt," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York.

MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe rose 1.77 points, or 0.20%, to 882.39.
