The U.S. Treasuries were little changed as markets look ahead to a greater flow of data on Tuesday, highlighted by trade balance, non-farm productivity/unit labour costs and factory orders releases.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note remained steady at 2.38 percent, the yield on long-term 30-year Treasury hovered around 3.05 percent mark and the yield on short-term 2-year note stood flat at 1.12 percent by 12:00 GMT.
The November US Labour Department employment situation report revealed a stronger +178k increase in non-farm payrolls, versus the revised +142k result that occurred in October (previous was +161k), in line with market expectations for a +180k increase.
This comes alongside a considerable further decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.6 percent (down from 4.9 percent), nine-year low, well below expectations for a 4.9 percent result. Meanwhile, average hourly earnings decreased -0.1 percent m/m, versus the unrevised +0.4 percent m/m reading seen in October. On balance, we see this result as providing more than enough weight to support the Fed raising rates at the December FOMC meeting.
Moreover, crude oil prices climbed on fresh buying ahead of OPEC and non-OPEC meeting on Saturday. The International benchmark Brent futures rose to $54.86 (highest since July last year) and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) jumped to $51.41.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Futures traded flat at 2,204 by 12:00 GMT. While at 12:00 GMT, the FxWirePro's Hourly Dollar Strength Index stood neutral at -55.20 (lower than -75 represents bearish trend).
