Investors await key economic data
- Treasury yields hold steady ahead of jobs report
- Long-dated Treasury yields consolidate after recent retreat
- Yield on 2-year note moves higher
- Yields retreated this week due to reduced issuance and Powell’s remarks
- October jobs report and ISM services index release expected today
Long-dated Treasury yields remained steady on Friday as investors awaited the release of the October jobs report. Yields on the 2-year note moved higher, while yields on the 10-year note and 30-year bond were relatively unchanged. This week, yields retreated after the U.S. Treasury announced plans for reduced issuance and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s comments suggested a pause in interest rate hikes. The market also reacted to a rise in initial jobless claims, indicating potential softening in the labor market. Analysts suggest that strong job and wage growth data could lead to a more hawkish stance from the Fed. Today, the October jobs report and the Institute for Supply Management’s services index will be released, providing further insight into the state of the U.S. economy.
