U.S. Treasury Market Awaits Key Employment Data Amid Venezuela Intervention

According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Treasury market showed little reaction to the country's intervention in Venezuela, with traders focusing more on upcoming events, including the release of the December 2025 non-farm payroll report on Friday. Since the end of last year's government shutdown, investors in the bond market have been anticipating clear and reliable labor market data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, following the October and November 2025 non-farm employment reports. Strategists at BMO Capital Markets suggest that Friday's employment data might be sufficient to restore investor confidence. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court may rule on the legality of U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariffs on Friday, coinciding with the release of the December non-farm payroll report, which could also impact the market. On Tuesday, U.S. Treasury bonds approached a significant milestone, with the yield on 10-year Treasury notes relative to 2-year notes reaching its highest level in nearly nine months, indicating traders are betting on a Federal Reserve rate cut in 2026.
