由于美联储对经济前景悲观的预测，和害怕全球经济衰退，投资者们抛售股票，买美金和政府国库卷，致使10年国库卷回报率降至1940年来最低点。

美联储计划在2012六月份前买回400 billion政府长期债卷，同时抛售短期债卷. 这个号称“Operation Twist" 的计划，受到中央银行灰暗的评论，宣称有"significant downside risks" to the global economy.

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Investors staged a flight from risk in global markets that sent U.S. stocks plummeting and 10-year Treasury yields to 1940s levels, after a gloomy outlook by the Federal Reserve renewed fears of a global economic slowdown.

- O: l7 ]1 g; Z2 cU.S. stocks hit successive lows throughout Thursday's session as investors sold off assets perceived as "risky" and fled to the dollar and government bonds. The selloff started Wednesday. The Fed moved to increase the share of longer-dated Treasurys within its portfolio by $400 billion by June 2012, while selling shorter-term paper. But the planned effort, which investors dubbed "Operation Twist," was overshadowed by a gloomy statement from the central bank noting "significant downside risks" to the global economy. The Fed also noted "strains" in global financial markets, widely interpreted as a reference to Europe's sovereign-debt crisis.

& k7 _3 k& P) J; K' ~The Dow Jones Industrial Average was near its lows recently, down 455 points, or 4.1%, at 10671, a day after shedding 284 points. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index lost 45 points, or 3.9%, to 1122, and the technology-oriented Nasdaq Composite slumped 99 points, or 3.9%, to 2440.

European stocks closed sharply lower. The Stoxx Europe 600 shed 4.6% to hit the lowest level in more than two years in intraday trading. Asian bourses also dropped sharply, with China's Shanghai Composite losing 2.8% on news that manufacturing activity in China contracted in September. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index slid 4.9%.

Gold slumped to a four-week low, under pressure from a surging U.S. dollar as investors turned to cash amid worries about a global slowdown. Gold for December delivery traded 3.7% lower in the afternoon at $1,740.80 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
