U.S. government debt prices are rising as worries over Europe's debt crisis drive traders into the Treasury market.
The price of the 10-year Treasury note is up 40.6 cents for every $100 in Friday afternoon trading. Its yield dipped to 1.95 percent from 2 percent late Thursday.
A strong jobs report had pushed Treasury prices lower Friday morning. The government said the unemployment rate dropped to 8.5 percent last month and U.S. employers added a net 200,000 jobs.
But concerns about Europe's debt troubles soon lured traders back into Treasurys. Italy's borrowing costs jumped and the euro fell to a 16-month low against the dollar.
In other trading, the price of the 30-year Treasury bond rose $1.03 for every $100. Its yield fell to 3.01 percent from 3.07 percent Thursday.
