Treasuries are nearly unchanged across the curve this morning from yesterday's close. The UST 10-Year yield is currently at 2.347% after closing at 2.346% during the prior session.

This morning we received the Nonfarm Payrolls for the month of October which reported that employers added 261k jobs following an upwardly revised 18k addition in September. We also received the U.S. unemployment rate which fell to 4.10% from 4.20% prior. The employment report was aided in part by hurricane-related hiring while continuing overall trends, achieving the lowest unemployment rate since 2000. The September trade deficit widened to $43.50 Billion from a revised $42.80 Billion deficit prior. Lastly, we received the September Factory Orders which rose better than expected at 1.40% versus 1.20% per consensus, while the Durable Goods Orders came in line with expectations rising 2.00% in September.

In other economic news, Jerome Powell was appointed yesterday as the next fed chairman. Traders are expecting the appointee to remain true to the forecast of gradual monetary tightening for the rest of 2017 and early 2018.

The curve has flattened with the UST 10-year yield up 0.1 bp from prior closing.

Have A Nice Weekend!
