Bonds Pouting After Higher PCE
Bonds Pouting After Higher PCE
To be fair, not all of the PCE data was higher than expected, but none of the top line numbers were lower than expected. Core PCE was on target but headline inflation was a tenth of a point above the monthly and annual targets. Traders were apparently positioned for better news as the bond market's immediate response has been moderately quick sell-off. MBS are starting out down more than an eighth and 10yr yields are up more than 2bps from pre-data levels.
