Bonds were moderately weaker overnight in a move that is just as easily considered a show of respect for the consolidation range as anything.  The initial impulse after the claims data was for a bit more selling, but that's already been reversed as bonds move back to pre-data levels.

MBS are down about an eighth and 10yr yields are up 3.5bps at 3.836.
