U.S. government debt prices were higher on Monday morning, as investors monitored developments in U.S. politics and weak data out of China.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to price, was lower at around 2.6757 percent, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond was also lower at 3.0219 percent.
