NEW YORK, March 28 (Reuters) - Benchmark U.S. and European bond yields moved higher on Thursday after prolonged slides, while gains on Wall Street countered declines in other world stock markets as investors eyed U.S.-China trade talks and economic growth.
While the U.S. dollar firmed against a basket of key currencies, the Turkish lira TRY= plunged as liquidity returned to the London foreign-exchange market, prompting President Tayyip Erdogan to blame the currency's weakness on attacks by the West. severe move was seen in palladium XPD= , which plummeted 6.6 percent as concerns that an economic slowdown could dent demand and a weak technical picture pushed investors to book profits after a record run. on Thursday showed the U.S. economy slowed more than initially thought in the fourth quarter, keeping growth in 2018 below the Trump administration's 3 percent annual target. have been on heightened alert for signs of the U.S. economy's strength since Friday, when the 3-month U.S. Treasury yield exceeded the yield on the 10-year note, an inversion of the yield curve that is widely seen as an indicator of a recession.

"Right now, stabilization in the yield, or yields actually moving higher, would be a positive (for stocks) because there's a concern that the declining yield is telling us something negative about the overall growth outlook,” Lerner said.
