    Morning Bonds:

    U.S. Treasuries sit on their highs after rallying in reaction to the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index for May. Treasuries followed their lower start with a sideways drift through the first 90 minutes of action, but they jumped into the green after the recent batch of data included a weaker than expected Non-Manufacturing Index (actual 50.3%; consensus 52.3%). The Index remained in expansionary territory, but it missed expectations, just like Services PMI reports from Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.

    Equities trade near their flat lines with the S&P 500 up 0.1%.

    Yields:
    2-yr: -4 bps to 4.47%
    3-yr: -2 bps to 4.12%
    5-yr: -2 bps to 3.83%
    10-yr: -1 bp to 3.68%
    30-yr: UNCH at 3.88%

    U.S. Treasuries on their lows ongside a higher start in equities with the Nasdaq (+0.9%) holding a sizable lead over the S&P 500 (+0.4%) thanks to renewed strength in technology names.

    Yield:
    2-yr: +7 bps to 4.59%
    3-yr: +7 bps to 4.24%
