Job openings declined more than expected in the latest data from the US. That\u2019s seen bond yields drive lower as investors hope this slight weakening in the labour market will see off any further hikes by the FOMC. NAB\u2019s Taylor Nugent says it\u2019ll have to be confirmed with the non-farm payrolls numbers on Friday night.
