Estimated


Treasuries yields on the front-end and belly of the curve are 2 to 3 bps lower this morning following softer than expected jobs data.

The ADP Employment Change index showed US companies added 107,000 jobs in January, fewer than the median forecast of 150,000 jobs. Later today the FOMC will announce its interest rate decision (no change is expected), tomorrow we’ll get initial jobless claims data, and on Friday we’ll get the change in nonfarm payrolls which is expected to show an increase of 185,000.
