Treasury prices jump after jobs data
10-year notes yields tumbled to 1.47% as the U.S. Labor
Department reported a payrolls increase of just 69,000 in May, far below analysts'
expectations. Figures for previous 2 months were revised downwards, unexpectedly
pushing the unemployment rate up. Yields on 30-year notes closed at 2.54%,
5-year notes – at 0.62%.
