Data Ramps Up And Another Dash of Quarter-End Trading

Before looking at trading screens this morning, the first order of business would have been to mention the ramp up in economic calendar activity.

It arrived at almost the exact same time as the last Wednesday's installment, but in the form of selling instead of buying. Thankfully, it was a lot smaller and merely added about 2bps to 10yr yields (which remain well under the 4.42% technical level).

The past 3 business days have seen rates either hold steady or move cautiously lower. Today's rates moved higher, but at just as slow a pace. The underlying bond market primarily took cues from trading motivations that didn't have anything to do with typical considerations like economic data and news headlines. As we discu...   READ MORE
