PODCAST: Jobs versus interest rates

Military commissaries closed by sequester. Thomson Reuters expected to suspend data sneak peaks. And which would you rather have: more jobs or lower interest rates?

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note — the benchmark for U.S. interest rates — was up this morning following Friday’s somewhat positive jobs report.

Is ok to pay to get the jump on market-moving news? Thomson Reuters is expected to suspend the practice of selling so-called sneak peeks of certain economic data to select clients today.

Monday is day one of the sequester-driven defense cuts, including a one-day a week closure of all domestic military grocery stores.
