Bonds Rally Back to Prevailing Range
Bonds Rally Back to Prevailing Range
The only moderately inconvenient part of the day was the morning hours as bonds lost ground overnight and started out weaker in domestic trading. That didn't last long. Yields began falling just after 9am and continued lower after today's biggest economic report came out weaker than expected (job openings at 7.6m vs 8.0m f'cast). Oil prices took a temporary hit from newswires regarding Trumping increasing pressure on Iran, but as that price spike leveled off, bonds continued to improve. Some news outlets suggest today's gains had something to do with the Mexico/Canada tariff pause, but that news was out well before the AM weakness. The simplest view is that bonds opted to maintain the prevailing range which has seen 10yr yields hold within 6bps of 4.53 since January 24th.
