Treasuries Close Nearly Flat Ahead of February Non-Farm Payrolls (2/9/2026)

U.S. Treasuries closed nearly flat on February 9, 2026, as investors awaited the release of the nonfarm payrolls report at 2026-02-16 (Friday, 8:30 a.m. ET). Yields for the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.52% by late afternoon, reflecting cautious sentiment ahead of the data. The report is a key gauge of labor market strength and is closely watched for implications on inflation and monetary policy. If the employment figure exceeds 250,000, it would likely prompt the Federal Open Market Committee to consider maintaining its current accommodative stance, influencing decisions on interest rates and future policy direction.
