USA bond market: Treasury bonds fell as the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates decreased due to strong employment data.
U.S. Treasury bonds fell further near closing, ending at intraday lows. This was after the stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data for April resulted in significant sell-offs in Treasury futures, weakening expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut. Both Goldman Sachs and Barclays pushed back their expectations for a rate cut by the Fed from June to July, increasing short-end selling pressure. Shortly after 3 PM New York time, the yield curve flattened, with all yields rising by 6 to 13 basis points.
