Authorities bond yields had been combined forward of the weekly unemployment claims information

The US 10-year Treasury yield fell slightly on Thursday morning before weekly unemployment claims data was released.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield fell to 1.58% at 4:30 a.m. ET. The yield on the 30-year government bond rose slightly to 2.262%. The returns move inversely to the prices.

The Department of Labor will publish the number of new jobless claims submitted at 8:30 a.m. CET last week. Economists polled by Dow Jones predict that 527,000 new unemployment insurance claims were filed in the week ending May 1.

That follows private payroll data released Wednesday, which suggests 742,000 new jobs were created in April, though that was just below the 800,000 forecast by economists polled by Dow Jones.

Additionally, in April, non-farm payroll is due on Friday.

Auctions for $ 40 billion worth of 4-week bills and $ 40 billion worth of 8-week bills are scheduled to take place on Thursday.
