The producer price index — a measure of wholesale prices — came in unchanged in September, below consensus expectations of a 0.1% increase last month, according to Dow Jones.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury briefly topped 4.1% in the previous session following commentary from Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic that suggested he was open to the idea of possibly skipping a rate cut at one of the Fed's last two policy meetings this year.
His comments followed hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data on Thursday. The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in September and 2.4% year-over-year, which was above economists' estimates of a 0.1% increase on a monthly basis, and a 2.3% expansion over the last 12 months, according to a Dow Jones consensus.
