U.S. government debt prices were higher on Friday as investors prepared for the release of May’s jobs report.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury notes, which moves inversely to price, was lower at around 2.204 percent, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond was also lower at 2.856 percent.

Friday will see nonfarm payrolls, unemployment rate data and average hourly wages for May posted at around 8:30 ET. Meanwhile, trade deficit data for April is also expected to be released at the same time.

The employment report is expected to show that gains were broad-based. Business and professional hiring, as well as construction and possibly manufacturing and retail — a recent area of weakness — are all expected to show improvement
