## Resource

US equities were lower in Thursday afternoon trading, on track for modest weekly declines. A lot of the day's focus was on long-end rates giving back much of Wednesday's declines that followed the Treasury's unexpected buyback boost. Analysts have voiced some skepticism about the Treasury's ability to offset ongoing structural pressures.
