Jun 6, 2025 6:02 AM

June 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury yields rose after data

had expected in May, while average hourly earnings also rose

more than was forecast.

Employers added 139,000 jobs last month, above estimates for

a 130,000 increase. Average hourly earnings increased 0.4% in

May, above expectations for a 0.3% increase. The unemployment

rate held steady at 4.2%, as expected.

The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes was

last up 5.1 basis points on the day at 4.446%. Interest rate

sensitive two-year note yields rose 3.8 basis points

to 3.962%.
