Treasuries are poised for their best week since early September after a volatile five days of trading dominated by Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election.

Long-dated yields Friday further extended their retreat from multimonth highs reached on the election results. Short-dated tenors erased declines as several more Wall Street banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. forecast fewer Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts next year than previously.
