[Market Trends].
The ISM Manufacturing Index for September came in at 47.2, below expectations of 47.5, while JOLTS job openings for August came in at 8.04 million, above expectations of 7.69 million. This mixed bag of data sent US Treasury rates lower.
Treasury rates saw limited losses amid slowing US PCE inflation and increased expectations of an October rate cut by the Bank of Korea. Lower trading volumes towards the end of the quarter also had an impact.
