Treasury prices are drifting lower on another quiet morning in the broad markets.  Global equity markets are mixed (but little changed in either direction), and S&P 500 futures are just slightly higher to begin the day.  On the political front, recent reports suggest tax reform will likely get pushed to 2018 given the effort that will be required to get the budget and debt ceiling bills passed.  The ADP employment report suggests private payrolls added 178,000 jobs in July versus expectations of 190,000, but the prior month was revised higher by 33,000 jobs. The July jobs report will be released on Friday, and nonfarm payrolls are expected to add 180,000 jobs.
