before a weak U.S. jobs report helped trigger a run of global market volatility.

The yield on the 2-year note was near-flat at 4.065%.

Yields and prices move in opposite directions, and one basis point equals one one-hundredth (0.01%) of a percent.

That helped drive the S&P 500 index to its best day since 2022, also boosting Asia-Pacific and ********* markets on Friday.

Traders meanwhile trimmed bets on a 50 basis point rate cut from the Federal Reserve in September, now pricing in roughly even odds of that or a 25 basis point move lower, according to CME’s FedWatch tool.

Fresh data is in short supply until Tuesday, when the core producer price index is due.
