Ugly Snowball Selling Thanks to Oil and Inflation Data
Ugly Snowball Selling Thanks to Oil and Inflation Data
MBS lost nearly a full point by 4pm ET and 10yr yields were up 11.4bps at 4.95%. This is the highest since October 2023 when 10s briefly hit 5.006%. At one point in the overnight session, yields were slightly LOWER on the day. Things changed in waves. First wave: oil prices surged overnight and had already broken $100 but the time PPI came out. Second wave: PPI was roughly in line with forecasts, but internal components suggested a 0.1 increase to core PCE inflation. The reaction was the sharpest of the day for bonds. Third wave: late day illiquid redistribution after 30yr bond auction (although this could also be incidental drift ahead of Friday's CPI data). If we could only focus on 2 things, it would be the acceleration in the fuel price trend and the unfriendly PCE implications in today's PPI data.
