Weak U.S. jobs data briefly boosted demand for Treasurys

Reported · Written up by our desk · Economy

MarketWatch reports that a weak U.S. labor report briefly revived interest in U.S. debt as a safe haven.

The outlet says bond investors quickly moved away from that enthusiasm after the jobs data, implying the safe-haven bid was short lived.
