Nice Recovery After JOLTS Data and Treasury Auction
Nice Recovery After JOLTS Data and Treasury Auction
If bond yields fall a few bps after having risen about 30 times as much, is it still a rally? Who knows, but that's what happened this afternoon. Yields actually began the day higher and continued to weaken ahead of the JOLTS data and Treasury auction. Both events proved to be beneficial, but it was only after making it trough the 1pm auction of 7yr Treasuries that the buying demand stuck around long enough to get MBS and Treasuries into positive territory on the day. As our ongoing lock/float guidance suggests, periodic victories will happen in this environment. The bigger victories depend on bigger data and events, but Tuesday was nonetheless "nice" if for no other reason than to prove bonds are still capable of rallying when there's justification.
