U.S. Treasuries in tight range ahead of payrolls
By Ana Nicolaci da Costa
LONDON, June 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasuries traded within a tight range on Friday with investors reluctant to take big positions ahead of the key U.S. non-farm payrolls report which economists expect to come in weaker. The U.S. non-farm payrolls number is out at 1230 GMT and the median estimate by economists in a Reuters survey was that 185,000 new jobs were created in May after 274,000 jobs in April.
The numbers will shed light on the future of U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy, two days after Dallas Fed Bank President Richard Fisher suggested the Fed might soon end its series of interest rate increases.
"Payrolls and then (Fed Chairman Alan) Greenspan next week, that's what people really are waiting for. Payrolls in terms of economic fundamentals and then Greenspan as to whether or not he rebuts what Fisher came out with," said Ralph Preusser, European strategist at Deutsche Bank.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan testifies on the economic outlook before the Joint Economic Committee next week.
"I think the number would have to be quite weak to surprise the market at the moment. The consensus figure seems to have been revised continuously over the last few days."
At 0917 GMT, the two-year notes price was steady at 3.53 percent <US2YT=RR>. Meanwhile, the 10-year note <US10YT=RR> was little changed from the New York close, yielding around 3.90 percent.
The forecast for jobs created in May moved lower, according to analysts, after the employment index of the May Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index on Wednesday dropped below 50, pointing to contraction.
Traders said the tendency was towards the upside for bonds, even if the labour data came in above expectations.
"Overall, whatever the number is unless it is really huge, I think we will see continued buying," said a London trader.
Five-year yields <US5YT=RR> were at 3.66 percent. Meanwhile, the ultra-long 30-year debt yield <US30YT=RR> was at 4.23 percent.
The June T-note future <TYM5> was down 3/32 at 113-16/32.
The Institute for Supply Management releases its May non-manufacturing index at 1400 GMT.
The Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI)'s monthly future inflation gauge index for May is due at 1340 GMT and its weekly index of economic activity is out at 1430 GMT.
Fed Governor Edward Gramlich speaks at 1215 GMT and Fed Governor Olson Mark speaks at 1945 GMT.
Treasuries underperformed Bunds slightly, with the 10-year yield spread 1 basis point wider at 73 basis points.
The 10-year dollar swap spread stood at 41 basis points, compared with 40.75 basis points in the U.S. on Thursday. ((Reporting by Ana Nicolaci da Costa;
