Treasuriesare slightly higher across the curve this morning from yesterday‘s close. The UST10-Year yield is currently at 2.328% after closing at 2.349% prior.
This morning we received the PPI Final Demand for September which came in line with expectation, rising 0.40% MoM following a 0.20% rise in August. PPI Excluding Food and Energy MoM also rose 0.40% following a 0.10% rise prior, and PPI Excluding Food, Energy and Trade MoM rose as expected at 0.20% for the month. PPI Final Demand YoY is now up 2.60% versus 2.40% prior, and PPI Excluding Food and Energy YoY is now up 2.20% versus 2.00% prior.
We also received the Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending on October 7th which fell 15k to 243k from a downwardly revised 258k the week prior. Continuing Claims for the week ending on September 30th fell 32k to 1889k from a downwardly revised 1921k the week prior. The continued improvement in the claims data supports the irregularity of September’s weak nonfarm payroll which was heavily affected by recent natural disasters. Later today at 10:00 AM (PT), Treasury will auction $12 Billion in re-opened 30-Year bonds.
