Modest Friday Bounce Does Little to Alter Bigger Picture
Modest Friday Bounce Does Little to Alter Bigger Picture
After a decent mid-day recovery, bonds gave up their gains heading into the 3pm close. It's a level of weakness that demands no explanation in the bigger picture--especially on a Friday afternoon of a week with a rally on every single previous day. Nonetheless, one could make a case for the bump by pointing to things like Senate moving closer to a spending bill vote with reports suggesting slightly more spending than before. Separate headlines involved Trump declaring an end to trade negotiations with Canada--something that might imply inflation pressure to some traders. Friday aside, the week's theme was one of lower Fed Funds Rate expectations and that will either be amplified or called into question by the key economic reports next week (as well as CPI the following week).
