U.S. Treasuries narrowly mixed ahead of super-long 30-year auction, initial jobless claims

The U.S. Treasuries traded narrowly mixed Thursday as investors wait to focus on the country’s initial jobless claims, scheduled to be held today by 13:30GMT. Also, the country’s 30-year note auction, due today by 18:00GMT will add further direction to the debt market.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury remained flat at 2.32 percent, the super-long 30-year bond yields steady at 2.78 percent and the yield on short-term 2-year note traded nearly a basis point higher at 1.65 percent by 11:05GMT.

Another relatively quiet day in the US, but it should be worth keeping an eye on the usual initial jobless claims and the final wholesale trade figures for September.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Futures traded flat at 2,585.75 by 11:10GMT, while at 11:00GMT, the FxWirePro's Hourly Dollar Strength Index remained slightly bearish at -93.71 (a reading above +75 indicates a bullish trend, while that below -75 a bearish trend).
