  　　After the initial shock of the coronavirus epidemic, many bond traders were neither able nor willing to bet on the direction of US Treasury yields. The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields, after roller-coastering in March from a record low of 0.31% to a high of 1.27%, fluctuated in a much smaller range of 0.54% to 0.78% in April.
  　　According to the institutional investor survey data released by JP Morgan Chase, two-thirds of the surveyed institutions have become more neutral in terms of fund allocation, a proportion close to the highest level in the past two years. This situation indicates that there are few large-scale risk-taking investments at the moment.
  　　Most bond yields have been trading in a tight range, which means that investors are still holding out to see whether the United States can escape the whirlpool of deflation. A large amount of fixed-income futures positions were closed in March, and since then, the size of the open interest has hardly changed, and has been hovering around the lowest level since 2017.
