Treasuries fall on better job news

Posted: Updated:
NEW YORK -

U.S. Treasury's prices fell Thursday on better jobs news and renewed hope Spain can avoid a bailout.

Ten-year U.S. Treasury notes fell 34 cents per $100 invested. The yield rose to 1.89 percent from 1.83 percent late Wednesday.

Investors were encouraged by a U.S. Labor Department report that unemployment claims edged lower in the week ending May 5. That helped push down a four-week average for claims for first time since March. That closely-watched average is now at a level suggesting that the unemployment rate will continue to fall.
