U.S. Treasuries motionless ahead of June non-farm payrolls, unemployment rate

The U.S. Treasuries remained unnerved during Friday’s afternoon session, after returning from Independence Day holiday ahead of the country’s June non-farm payrolls and unemployment rate data, scheduled to be released today by 12:30GMT respectively.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield remained tad higher at 1.962 percent, the super-long 30-year bond yields traded flat at 2.472 percent and the yield on the short-term 2-year too traded nearly steady at 1.776 percent by 10:50GMT.

Most attention today in the U.S. will be on the labour market report for June, with nonfarm payroll growth expected to take a step up from 75k in May back close to the average for the year to-date (164k), Daiwa Capital Markets reported.

The unemployment rate, meanwhile, is expected to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, while average earnings data will obviously be closely watched too, the report added.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Futures traded tad -0.17 percent lower at 2,995.12 by 10:55GMT
