LONDON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - The yield on the U.S. 30-year

Treasury bond dropped to its lowest since April 8's tariff

turmoil on Tuesday, as worries about a re-escalation inU.S.

China trade tensions sent investors scrambling to the safety of

government bonds.

The U.S. 30-year yield dropped just over 3 basis

points to 4.6%, falling past the lows of both early September

and late April.

Just a few months ago, investors around the world were

worrying about what seemed like a relentless rise in super-long

dated bonds around the world, but such worries have since eased.

The U.S. 10-year yield dropped 4 bps to 4.01%, and rate

sensitive two-year yield dropped 5 bps to 3.47%.
