Treasuries fell, boosting the 30-year bond yields by the most in seven months, after a report showed U.S. employers added more jobs in April than forecast, boosting the outlook for economic growth and trimming demand for refuge.

U.S. 10-year notes yields rose the most since January as the U.S. employment rate unexpectedly fell to 7.5 percent, a four-year low. Yields on benchmark notes had reached to the lowest levels this year this week as the Federal Reserve said it may increase or reduce the size its purchases of government and mortgage debt as conditions warrant under its quantitative-easing stimulus strategy.
