Treasury yields modestly lower on the front end of the curve to start the first fully staffed week of the year for most.

Bloomberg is reporting that President-elect Trump’s team are considering a narrower tariff plan than the universal one he had proposed during the campaign. The story suggests that the tariffs would instead be limited to specific critical imports. This week’s economic calendar is headlined by the December jobs report on Friday, which is expected to show 158,000 jobs added to nonfarm payrolls and no change in the unemployment rate (4.2%). The minutes of the December FOMC meeting will be released on Wednesday, and several Fed leaders are scheduled to speak this week, beginning with Governor Cook this morning.
