US Treasury yields move higher after jobs data

The US dollar was steady in trading following Friday's non-farm payrolls report, which showed a surge in employment alongside an increase in unemployment. The report surpassed expectations, revealing that public and private sector payrolls increased by 339,000 in May, from last month's rise of 253,000. The dollar index, which measures the US currency against six others, was last up 0.203% at 103.730. However, before the US Labor Department released the data, the greenback was heading for its largest weekly fall since mid-January.
