1. On Monday this week, the sharp drop in the US Treasury market further intensified, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond returned above the 4% level, reaching its highest level since August; 2. Due to the unexpectedly strong US employment report announced last Friday, traders are forced to reevaluate their predictions for the outlook of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy.

After the unexpectedly strong non-farm data, bond traders are preparing to deal with the scenario of the US economy not landing.
The unexpectedly strong September non-farm employment report in the USA has led to a sharp rise in US bond yields, making the 'no landing' scenario once again a hot topic in the bond market. The 'no landing' scenario is constraining the Fed's room for interest rate cuts, further dampening the buying frenzy for US bonds.
Amid unexpectedly strong non-farm data, the benchmark US bond yield touched 4% for the first time since August.
Usa Treasury bonds continued last week's decline, falling on Monday, with the yield on 10-year US bonds rising by 4 basis points to 4.01% and the yield on 2-year US bonds rising by 8 basis points to 4%.
