There are obviously quite a few reports to digest this morning, but retail sales is the headliner--specifically core retail sales (aka "the control group," aka retail sales excluding autos/gas/building materials).

While this beat the forecast, last month was revised down by the same amount--sort of a wash.  No help for bonds from still-strong jobless claims or the very strong Philly Fed.  And import prices never move markets.

10yr yields are right where they were before the data, up 2.2bps at 4.481. MBS are down 3 ticks (.09).
