Stronger Start For Bonds After Cooler Jobs Report
Stronger Start For Bonds After Cooler Jobs Report
On most months in modern economic memory, a gain of 175k payrolls would be welcome news for the labor market. Depending on the context, it still is. But in today's case, it's much lower than the market expected and not a high enough number to justify the 4.6+ 10yr yields seen yesterday. Bonds rallied instantly when the news printed, but one rate-friendly jobs report is only a fine tuning adjustment to a rate environment dominated by inflation concerns.
