Treasury yields fall as investors crowd into bonds for safety amid election stock sell-off

Treasury yields fell late Tuesday as investors moved into government bonds for safety after Democratic gains in the U.S. midterm elections triggered a sell-off in equity futures. The shift into fixed income came as investors reassessed the political balance in Washington and its implications for fiscal and regulatory policy. The move highlights how quickly markets can rotate toward havens when election results raise uncertainty about the policy outlook. Investors are now watching whether the equity weakness extends into the next session and whether the bond rally holds as the remaining races are called.
