Stronger Start. Quiet Calendar
Stronger Start. Quiet Calendar
Bonds are starting the new week in slightly stronger territory, but still well inside the prevailing trading range. There were no standout market movers over the weekend although tariff and trade-related uncertainty may be generally weighing on investor sentiment to some small extent. The econ calendar is very quiet throughout the week with Friday's PPI being the most relevant report (and that's not saying much). This leaves markets more susceptible to trade and geopolitical headlines, but big moves would require big surprises.
Modestly stronger overnight and holding gains. MBS up 2 ticks (.06) and 10yr down 2.6bps at 4.061
