Decent Gains With Some Help From 7yr Auction
Decent Gains With Some Help From 7yr Auction
You know it's a holiday with an early closure if we're talking about a 7yr Treasury auction having an impact on the bond market. To be fair, 7s have had an impact once or twice in the past, but the bar is certainly high. The holiday calendar makes the bar a bit lower as fewer determined traders are required to move the whole pile. Such was the case after the 11:30am ET auction. Bonds were already in good shape before that, but the earlier gains were more incidental than data-driven.
Unchanged overnight and no reaction to claims data. MBS unchanged and 10yr down 1/10th of a bp at 4.165
