Losses Erased After Another Peace Teaser

Losses Erased After Another Peace Teaser

The following newswire hit about an hour before the open: TRUMP: US IN THE MIDDLE OF FINAL NEGOTIATIONS TO END IRAN WAR.  Bond yields and oil prices had already fallen modestly up to that point, but more than doubled the overnight rally after that. Yields are thus starting the day roughly 4bps lower, perfectly erasing the entirety of Wednesday's losses. Jobless Claims had no impact at 8:30am ET. An hour earlier, Challenger Layoffs possibly moved the needle microscopically, but it's just as likely that the ongoing drop in oil prices did the trick. There's no other big ticket data for the day, so we're headline watching and waiting for Friday's jobs report.

Imagine being stuck at home watching TV for 3 months and only being able to stream one show. That's been the case for the bond market (which dictates interest rates ) since the beginning of March. The show in question involves watching war-related headlines and reacting in roughly the same manner as oil prices. Today's episode was more interesting than yesterday's. Key details included reports of Iranian missile strikes on various U.S. and allied targets. In general, rates...   READ MORE
