China reports did not specify what the new measures, if approved, would target, but an announcement is expected shortly after China National day on Oct. 1st.

iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (NYSE: TLT) declined 0.9 percent as investors pulled money out of U.S. treasures bonds. Yields on the U.S. 10-year bond rose to 1.65 percent. Today’s decline in yields reverses yesterday’s gains which came on the heels of protests in Spain and Athens that triggered new euro zone concerns.
