[$$] U.S. Government Bonds Rise Again on Growth Concerns
U.S. government bond prices climbed Friday after data showing strong wage growth and low unemployment failed to assuage investor concerns about trade tensions and slowing growth. Yields, which fall when bond prices rise, slipped throughout the afternoon Friday as stocks tumbled, pushing investors to the safety of U.S. government debt. The move reversed an early climb that accelerated after the Labor Department said that U.S. employers slowed their pace of hiring in November, adding 155,000 jobs—below the 198,000 predicted by economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal.

[$$] Wild Markets Pinch Trading, Vexing Investors
Stocks surged in the late afternoon after The Wall Street Journal reported that Federal Reserve officials were considering stepping back from their predictable pace of quarterly interest-rate increases, reassuring investors who worried the central bank was on an overly aggressive path. An imbalance of buyers and sellers disrupted trading among bonds and other assets early in the session, traders said, spurring larger-than-average price fluctuations. The diminished liquidity is making it harder to buy and sell stocks, bonds and oil futures and exacerbating swings in the year’s final weeks, when markets are typically more subdued.

[$$] Economic Doubts Drag U.S. Treasury Benchmark Rate Further Below 3%
A weekslong rally in government bonds has pushed the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note below 3% for the first time since September, signaling some investors are increasingly worried about the pace of U.S. growth. This year’s climb in the 10-year yield—which helps set borrowing costs for companies, consumers and state and local governments—has stalled in recent weeks, weighed down by trade tensions, stock swings, falling oil prices and concerns that an economic slowdown outside the U.S. could weigh on the expansion here. Government bonds rallied after the U.S. and China reached a 90-day trade truce, and gained further Tuesday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 800 points.
