US Treasury yields at day’s high
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Ten-year Treasury yields in the US trade near the day’s high after the official data in the US showed the four- week moving average of jobless claims fell to its lowest since May 2000.
The Ten-year treasury yield is trading at the day’s high of 2.257% after the figures from the labor department showed The number of new claims rose to 283,000 last week from a revised 266,000 the week before. Markets expected that claims would edge higher to 281,000. Meanwhile, the Chicago Fed National activity index rose to 0.47 in September, compared to -0.21 in August. Moreover, the four-week moving average of claims fell 18,260 to 281,000, the lowest level since May 2000. The yields rose as the strong jobs data increases the probability of a sooner-than-expected interest rate hike in the US.
Moreover, the Treasury yields should continue moving higher if the US Equity markets trade on a positive note today.
