economists expected in February, while the unemployment rate
unexpectedly rose.
Employers added 275,000 jobs in February, above expectations
for 200,000 jobs gains. The unemployment rate rose to 3.9%. It
was expected to be unchanged at 3.7%.
Benchmark 10-year note yields fell to 4.038%,
the lowest since Feb. 2 and down from around 4.058% before the
data. Two-year note yields fell to 4.409%, the lowest
since Feb. 7, from 4.478%.
The inversion in the yield curve between two-year and
10-year notes narrowed by 4 basis points to minus
38 basis points.
