U.S. Treasury yields moved lower on Monday as investors looked ahead to several economic reports this week, which will offer insight into the state of the jobs market, inflation and retail sales.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield dipped less than 2 basis points to 4.182%. The 2-year Treasury yield also fell more than 2 basis points to 3.51%, while the 30-year Treasury bond yield slid less than a basis point to 4.853%.
One basis point equals 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.
Investors are anticipating several economic points this week, with Tuesday bringing the November nonfarm payrolls report and the latest unemployment rate, which was delayed due to the historic 43-day U.S. government shutdown. Those will be followed by October retail sales figures.
The highlight is the release of key inflation data on Thursday, the consumer price index report for November. It is expected to show that headline inflation increased to 3.1% on a yearly basis in November, according to FactSet consensus estimates. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is forecast to also come in at 3.1%.
Weekly initial jobless claims are also due on Thursday, with November’s existing home sales data set to be released on Friday.
