10-Year Treasury Yield Heads Toward Largest Decline Since April 14
1316 ET — The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note is headed toward its biggest one-day decline since April 14 after a pair of lackluster reports on the U.S. economy. Yields, which fall when bond prices rise, began sliding early in the session after the ADP's National Employment report showed that 37,000 jobs were created in May, the slowest pace of private-sector hiring in two years. Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal projected hiring would increase by 110,000 new jobs. Yields extended their decline after an ISM services report, which suggested that activity among service firms fell unexpectedly in May. The survey's index for new orders and inventories both sank into contraction, with respondents reporting difficulty in planning due to uncertain tariff policies. The 10-year yield recently traded near 4.36%, down from 4.46% Tuesday. ( 0841 ET – An ominous sign from the U.S. labor market triggers a rush to Treasury bonds, driving yields sharply lower. ADP says only 37,000 jobs were created by private employers in May, the lowest since March 2023. Economists surveyed by WSJ expected 110,000. ADP revises the April figure to 60,000 from 62,000 and says hiring is losing momentum while pay growth remained at robust levels. The report may reflect businesses reluctance to hire amid tariffs uncertainty. Trump cites the report to call on the Fed to lower rates. Friday, payrolls are expected to slow a little from April. The 10-year is at 4.419% and the two-year at 3.931%. ( @ptrevisani)

Rep. Alford to introduce congressional stock trading ban mirroring Senate's 'PELOSI Act'
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., on Wednesday will introduce legislation that would ban congressional stock trading, serving as the House companion bill to Sen. Josh Hawley's, R-Mo., "PELOSI Act" in the Senate. Alford's proposed bill would ban lawmakers and their spouses from holding, purchasing or selling individual stocks while in office, but it allows investments in diversified mutual funds, exchange-traded funds or U.S. Treasury bonds. If passed, current lawmakers would have 180 days to comply with the legislation. Likewise, newly elected lawmakers must achieve compliance within 180 days of entering office. "As public servants, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard and avoid the mere appearance of corruption," Alford said in a statement. "Unfortunately, too many members of Congress are engaging in suspicious stock trades based on non-public information to enrich themselves." "These gross violations of the public trust make clear: we must finally take action to ban members and their spouses from owning or selling individual stocks," he added. Under the proposed legislation, lawmakers who continue to make wrongful transactions would be required to hand over any profits they made to the U.S. Treasury Department. The House or Senate ethics committees could also impose a fine on such lawmakers amounting to 10% of each wrongful transaction. House Speaker Mike Johnson endorsed a stock trading ban on Wednesday, saying "a few bad actors" have ruined Americans' trust in lawmakers on the issue. "You want me to tell you my honest opinion on that? I'm in favor of that, because I don't think we should have any appearance of impropriety here," he told reporters during a press conference. President Donald Trump himself endorsed the same ban for members of Congress in an interview with Time magazine last month. "I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send that to me, I would do it," he said of a trading ban. "You'll sign it?" the reporter pressed. "Absolutely," Trump responded. Democrats in the House of Representatives have also expressed support for a ban, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., throwing his weight behind the proposal last week.
