The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield moved higher on Monday ahead of a series of key jobs data set to be published throughout the week.
The 10-year Treasury yield rose by nearly one basis point to 4.604%, while the 2-year Treasury dipped almost two basis points to 4.26%.
One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.
