U.S. Treasury yields continued their retreat on Thursday, with the entire yield curve erasing the gains made after last Friday's nonfarm payroll report. The decline was particularly sharp in long-term yields.The most attention-grabbing news on Thursday was Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller’s speech.
