Bonds — TLT closes at a one-year low but holds 78; oil slides on a reserve release, Micron reports tonight

Long bonds fell for a sixth session. The long-bond fund TLT closed at 78.23, down 0.50% and its lowest close in a year, 15% under its high of last October. At midday it traded at 77.93, and our Midday 10 wrote that it had broken 78. It did not close there: the fund finished back above 78. The 30-year Treasury yield stayed close to 5.6%, the highest since the early 2000s.
