1247 GMT - Yields on U.K. government bonds fall, tracking their U.S. peers, following weak U.S. ADP private jobs data which could increase prospects of more interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The ADP data for September showed private-sector jobs fell by 32,000, significantly weaker than the consensus forecast by economists in a WSJ poll of 45,000 additional jobs. Markets price in a high chance of two more rate cuts in the U.S. by the end of 2025, LSEG data show. Ten-year gilt yields fall 2 basis points on the day following the data release, last trading at 4.686%, Tradeweb data show. Ten-year Treasury yields fall 5 basis points to 4.100%.
