Oil and Jobs Keep Yields Elevated
Treasury yields remained under pressure this week, with the 10-year Treasury yield briefly touching 4.80% as renewed fighting in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher. On the economic front, August payrolls exceeded expectations, while June and July figures were revised upward. Manufacturing and services PMIs also improved. September rate-hike odds increased further, as the strong labor market gives the Fed greater leeway to tighten financial conditions.
