Markets watch bond yields and await Fed meeting minutes

Coverage spectrum

Covered by 3 outlets, mostly center (67%).

4 articles in total. The spectrum counts each outlet once and leaves opinion out. How we measure bias

Investors are focused on the bond market and the upcoming release of minutes from the Federal Reserve's September meeting. Treasury yields edged lower Monday after a sharp selloff the previous week, with the benchmark 10-year yield down slightly to 5.255% and the 30-year yield at 5.614%, according to CNBC. A weaker-than-expected monthly jobs report helped ease concerns about another rate hike, and traders were pricing in roughly an 82% chance the Fed would hold rates steady at its next meeting, per CME Group's FedWatch Tool. U.S. stock futures were reported lower amid the sustained bond market pressure as markets awaited the minutes, due Wednesday.
