U.S. 10-year Treasurys rallied on Monday, sending yields to historic lows, as heightened fears about Spain's ability to stave off a sovereign bailout prompted investors to seek out safe-haven fixed income assets.

The 10-year yield was at 1.410 percent, its lowest level since the early 1800's, according to data compiled by Reuters.
