US September ADP Job Growth Beats Expectations; Treasury Yields Edge Higher

The read-through matters less for the headline beat than for what it does to the rate-cut narrative: a resilient labor market removes some of the urgency for near-term easing, which is why yields ticked up rather than down.

The open question is whether this resilience persists into coming data or proves a one-month blip.
