What happened

Treasury yields moved higher on Wednesday after the latest ADP report came in stronger than expected and as oil prices saw gains.

Why it matters

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note — the main benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt — was more than 3 basis points higher at 4.489%.

Common ground

The yield on the 2-year Treasury note, which typically reacts in line with short-term Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, rose more than 2 basis points to 4.078%.

Perspective signals
