NEW YORK, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasuries market
tumbled for a third straight day on Friday with the 10-year
yield hitting a seven-year high, as a solid payrolls report
fueled jitters about rising inflation and more interest rate
hikes.
The 30-year yield rang up its steepest weekly increase since
November 2016 in the aftermath of Donald Trump's surprise U.S.
presidential win, which touched off a bond market rout on fears
that Trump's campaign promise on massive tax cuts and federal
spending would drive up inflation.
This week's selloff began on Wednesday following stunningly
strong economic data and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve
officials. A breach of crucial technical supports also spurred
selling in Treasuries, analysts and fund managers said.
"There is momentum for this move. I wouldn’t be surprised if
the 10-year yield gets to 3.5 percent by the end of the year,"
said Don Ellenberger, head of multi-sector strategies at
Federated Investors in Pittsburgh.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose nearly
4 basis points at 3.233 percent after hitting a seven-year peak
at 3.248 percent earlier on Friday.
The 30-year yield reached a four-year high at
3.424 percent before retreating to 3.404 percent in late
trading.
Prior to the selloff, positioning data released late on
Friday showed speculators had built huge bets on bond yields to
rise.
For the week, the 10-year yield jumped nearly 18 basis
points, the biggest such rise since February, while the 30-year
yield increased almost 21 basis points, the most in about 23
months.
Treasury yields briefly fell when the Labor Department said
domestic employers added 134,000 jobs last month, the smallest
gains in a year.
But yields quickly resumed their rise as traders focused on
strong aspects of the report: a steady rise in wages and a fall
in the jobless rate to a near 49-year low.
The bond market faces more hurdles next week when the
Treasury market will sell a combined $74 billion in three-year,
10-year and 30-year debt.
"The bigger picture is that the supply is relentless,"
Ellenberger said. "The underlying supply and demand technical is
supporting yields to go higher."
The U.S. bond market will be closed on Monday for the U.S.
Columbus Day holiday.
Some analysts said the market selloff is overdone because
data suggested that inflation remains relatively tame and most
Fed officials are in favor of raising rates gradually.
Some chart indicators suggested the $15 trillion sector is
the most oversold since February.
