Wednesday's rise in Treasury yields coincided with stronger-than-expected economic data that fueled some concern over the likelihood of further hikes. Associate VP, Fundamental Currencies and Commodities, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said, "US ISM services Index for August was reported to be 54.50, which was much better than the estimate of 52.50. The data also showed a significant improvement from the July reading, which was 52.70. ISM services price paid jumped from 56.80 in July to 58.90 in August, which stokes inflation concerns."
