The U.S. Treasuries remained tad higher Friday ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) members Brainard and Kaplan’s speech scheduled for today at 13:15GMT respectively.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasuries slid 1 basis point to 3.10 percent, the super-long 30-year bond yields also slipped slightly to 3.23 percent and the yield on the short-term 2-year traded 1-1/2 basis points lower at 2.55 percent by 11:00GMT.
Given some support from the strong signal on prices from the Philly Fed survey, Treasury yields again nudged a little higher and the US dollar is very modestly firmer.
Together these moves weighed a little on Wall Street, with the S&P500 closing down 0.1 percent despite the solid economic data – which did keep industrials in the black – and a rally in energy stocks (WTI rose above USD72 bpd and Brent rose above USD80 bpd before easing back).
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Futures rose 0.20 percent to 2,724.25 by 11:05GMT, while at 11:00GMT, the FxWirePro's Hourly Dollar Strength Index remained highly bullish at 160.33 (a reading above +75 indicates a bullish trend, while that below -75 a bearish trend).
