The 10-year US Treasury yield remained at 4%, near its highest level in over two months.

Strong September jobs data showed 254,000 jobs added, surpassing expectations of 140,000.

Markets anticipate an 87% probability of a 25 basis point rate reduction by the Fed in November.

On Tuesday, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury held steady at 4%, remaining close to its highest levels seen in over two months. This stability comes in the wake of a stronger-than-expected September jobs report, which has shifted investor expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's easing campaign. The report, released on Friday, indicated that the US economy added an impressive 254,000 jobs last month, significantly surpassing forecasts of a 140,000 increase. Additionally, the unemployment rate unexpectedly declined to 4.1% from 4.2%, providing further evidence of a resilient labor market.

In light of this data, markets are now pricing in a substantial 87% probability that the Fed will implement a more modest 25 basis point rate reduction in its November meeting. Expectations for a more aggressive half-percentage point cut have been effectively priced out, reflecting a shift in sentiment among investors regarding the central bank's monetary policy approach.

Looking ahead, market participants are keenly awaiting the release of the latest Fed meeting minutes on Wednesday, as well as the consumer price index report scheduled for Thursday. These upcoming data points are expected to provide further clarity on the Fed's rates outlook and may influence market movements in the coming days.

As investors navigate these developments, the focus will remain on how the labor market dynamics and inflation trends will shape the Federal Reserve's decisions, impacting broader economic conditions and investment strategies.
