ISM's non-manufacturing PMI is leading the charge in the 10am hour. It was stronger across the board with a notable uptick in new orders and employment.  Any time this report shows a relatively large uptick in employment, it's a concern on NFP week. 

Job openings fell (good for rates), but that was offset by an increase in the "quits" rate (higher = worse for rates). 

MBS are down an eighth of a point from AM highs and 10yr yields are up 2bps from before the data at 4.158 (still down modestly on the day).

08:17 AM

10:02 AM

Losing ground after 10am data. MBS back to unchanged and 10yr down 1.3bps at 4.152
