Renewed Fighting Pushes Back on Recent Rally

Renewed Fighting Pushes Back on Recent Rally

There's a supertanker load of data this morning with some apparently interesting results, but the market remains focused primarily on supertankers being able to transport oil. Those prospects were dealt a fresh blow overnight as both sides reported renewed attacks. Bond yields and oil prices jumped clearly in response, but not in an overly aggressive fashion. And to be fair to this morning's data, it has actually been up to the task of helping yields drop about 2bps back to unchanged levels. Primary credit would have to go to lower than expected monthly PCE prices.

Don't be surprised to see "yeah but" headlines in the coming hours and additional volatility.&nbs...   READ MORE

Early in the trading session, the bond market began improving in response to more updates on a potential Iran peace deal. When bonds improve, rates fall, but the initial reaction proved short-lived.  Thankfully, the reversal didn't do any new damage. This allowed the average lender to keep rates right in line with yesterday's 6.61% for a top-tier 30 year fixed. You'd have to go back to May 14th to see anything lower.   READ MORE
