U.S. Treasury yields moved lower on Wednesday as investors digested weaker-than-expected ADP jobs data and continued to monitor geopolitical uncertainty.
The 10-year Treasury yield was down more than 5 basis points to 4.126%. The 2-year Treasury note was lower by more than 2 basis points at 3.451%. Meanwhile, the 30-year bond yield also declined more than 5 basis points to 4.809%.
One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.
Yields took a leg lower on Wednesday after payrolls processing firm ADP reported that private payrolls increased 41,000 in December. Economists polled by Dow Jones had called for 48,000.
That said, the latest figure marked a reversal from the decline of 29,000 seen in November.
Investors are awaiting upcoming economic data, namely the job openings report and the employment change report, which are both due at 10 a.m. ET.
Looking ahead, investors are also anticipating the release of Friday’s payrolls report, with economists expecting the economy to have added 54,000 new jobs in December.
Elsewhere, investors are keeping an eye on geopolitical uncertainty, including tension in Venezuela and developments around Greenland.
