Stocks mixed, Treasury yields drop after jobs data

Stocks waver, investors opt for Treasurys after disappointing jobs report from ADP

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks traded in a tight range Wednesday after a disappointing report on the jobs market renewed concern about the economy. Treasury yields sank to new lows as investors sought safety and anticipated more stimulus measures from the Federal Reserve.

Payroll company ADP said private employers cut jobs in September for the first time in seven months. Investors are seeing a silver lining in the news, however, hoping that it could help push the Federal Reserve to take more action to get the U.S. economy going next month, including stepping up its purchases of bonds.

Gold reach another high and the dollar slumped further against other currencies on anticipation that U.S. interest rates could head even lower if the Fed moves aggressively to buy bonds and take other measures to encourage borrowing.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 2 points in late morning trading, but broader indexes slipped. The yield on the two-year Treasury note hit a record low 0.38 percent, and the yield on the 10-year note fell to 2.37 percent.
