| 09:05 EDT |  | | U.S. equities rebounded from negative territory U.S. equities rebounded from negative territory to post gains ahead of the open after the neutral payrolls report likely kept the Fed in the QE game for at least another meeting or two. Speculation in the press as to whether the 200k level would provide a taper trigger was rendered moot by the 175k gain, though stock bulls had to overcome the bounce in the jobless rate to 7.6%. Prior to the data, equities had been trading in shallow negative territory after losses in Asia and Europe. In Japan, the N-225 was very volatile, though it recovered late to close down just -0.21% after talk of pension fund support to raise equity holdings a percent, while the Aussie ASX 200 sank 1.21% and the Shanghai Comp fell 1.33%. Half of Europe is back in the green, with a slight gain on the Euro Stoxx 50, though the price action is mixed across the Continent. The Dow is 57-points firmer, S&P gained 9-points, and NASDAQ is 12-points higher in pre-market action. Wal-Mart delivered more upbeat news on its forecast that customer confidence will rise in the second half of the year. Soros Fund Management indicated it had liquidated much of its Japan long-equity positions in May before sell-off. The back-up in Treasury yields to highs in response could provide some headwinds for stock investors into the close if it continues, whereas only consumer credit remains later to provide a small economic hurdle into the weekend. |

| 08:45 EDT |  | | Treasury Action: yields pulled back from highs Treasury Action: yields pulled back from highs following the near-median print on payrolls, with back revisions virtually a wash, though the unemployment rate backed up to 7.6%. That gave the markets pause and yields eased even further as the news was digested. The T-note yield had run up to 2.10% prior to the snap, then plunged to 2.05% again in its wake. Whether 200k is any kind of threshold, or not, the Fed hasn't reached it in a sustainable way just yet. Taper-off... |

| 08:30 EDT |  | | Treasury Action: yields are backing up into NFPs Treasury Action: yields are backing up into NFPs as the bond market braces for an outsized number vs the 165k median. Anything much above that level would keep the Fed QE taper in play, while a 150k and below might calm the taper talk somewhat. Some sources are point to an MNI Beckner story that 200k is not the minimum target for a taper, though that's self-evident as the Fed has been looking for consecutive months of sustainable gains to justify any relaxing of QE via the taper. The T-note yield has jumped from the 2.05% area to 2.09%. |
