U.S. government bonds experienced their best trading day in over two years on Thursday, as a confluence of global events pushed investors towards safer assets. A sustained decline in artificial intelligence-related stocks, coupled with unrest in France and escalating tensions in the Middle East, fueled demand for U.S. debt.
