Bond yields rose on Friday ahead of pivotal data that will show whether a rally in bond prices has been justified. The yield on the 2-year Treasury was up 4.1 basis points, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury was up 2.7 basis points and the yield on the 30-year Treasury was up 2.5 basis points. Economists expect the U.S. Labor Department to report 190,000 jobs were created in November, which is in line with the needed replacement rate for the U.S. economy. The report will provide validation for the recent decline in yields. Additionally, there will be upcoming long-end auctions and CPI data to watch.
