The U.S. Treasury yield surge that has shaken markets in recent weeks may have further room to run, after a stunningly strong U.S. jobs report bolstered the case for more tightening from the Federal Reserve. Jobs growth for September were nearly double expectations with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 336,000 for the month, strengthening views that policymakers will need to keep interest rates elevated to cool inflation. That’s bad news for investors who were looking for a respite from a rise in Treasury yields that has wreaked havoc throughout markets over the past month, bruising stocks, supercharging the dollar and pushing mortgage rates to their highest levels in more than two decades.

NEW YORK - The U.S. Treasury yield surge that has shaken markets in recent weeks may have further room to run, after a stunningly strong U.S. jobs report bolstered the case for more tightening from the Federal Reserve.

“It’s quite a report,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities. “The likelihood of a Fed hike in November has risen. This is not what the market was looking for.” For some investors, however, further increases in yields could be limited given the weakness already seen in bonds in recent weeks. The restrictive level of interest rates on the economy could also be seen as an opportunity to add longer dated bonds, said Candice Tse, global head of strategic advisory solutions at Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

Friday's closely-watched jobs report comes on the heels of a run of resilient U.S. economic data which has reinforced the Federal Reserve's hawkish messaging of higher-for-longer rates and sent the greenback and U.S. Treasury yields surging. The dollar index, which earlier in the week hit a roughly 11-month high of 107.34, last settled at 106.37, but remained on track for 12 straight weeks of gains.
