- ADP says more moderate hiring and wage growth in 2024
Bonds had moderate ups and downs in the overnight session, but stayed in a broadly sideways range between 4.16 and 4.21. Heading into the ADP data, yields were around 4.19. After the data, the initial move was barely noticeable despite an obvious volume pop . Yields fell to 4.174 but have since given some of that improvement back, currently up 1.5bps on the day at 4.182.
MBS are down an eighth of a point. Long story short, ADP was a non-event that did nothing to change the prevailing range or narrative. That's a good thing.
