US Treasuries dip on hint of jobs improvement
NEW YORK, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Treasuries prices dipped on Monday after a report on regional U.S. manufacturing showed an improvement in employment, just days before the February payrolls report was due.
The Chicago purchasing management index of business activity firmed only slightly to 62.7 in February, from 62.4 the month before, when market talk had been for a result of 64.0 or higher.
However, the breakdown was stronger with new orders rising and the employment index climbing to 57.7 from 52.8. The latter stoked speculation the payrolls report could finally show a substantial gain in jobs.
Treasuries had been hit earlier after an unexpectedly big rise in core U.S. inflation revived concerns that official interest rates might have to rise faster and farther than first thought. The benchmark 10-year note <US10YT=RR> fell 4/32 in price, while its yield rose to 4.29 percent from 4.27 percent on Friday. Yields on the two-year note <US30YT=RR> edged up to 3.55 percent from 3.53 percent.
