Stronger Start Thanks to Europe and ADP

Bonds rallied steadily overnight with more of the gains aligning with a data-driven bond rally in Europe.

ADP's job count wasn't particularly far below forecasts (41k vs 47k), but the previous month wasn't revised much higher (-29k vs -32k initially). At 10am ET, we'll get Job Openings and ISM Non-Manufacturing--a combo that is arguably heavier hitting than ADP, if the results are not right in line with forecasts.
