Calmer Start. Uneventful ADP. Waiting on ISM
Calmer Start. Uneventful ADP. Waiting on ISM
After 2 days of much higher volatility at the open, bonds are roughly unchanged so far this morning and the overnight session was noticeably calmer. Today's big ticket data includes ADP Employment and ISM Services. The former is already out (63k vs 50k, with a negative revision about the same size as the beat) and not moving markets. With that, we wait for ISM Services at 10am ET--arguably a much more capable market mover on average. With 10s trading in the 4.07's currently, 4.10% increasingly looks like a technical ceiling.
flat all morning. MBS up 2 ticks (.06) and 10yr unchanged at 4.07
still flat with MBS up 1 tick (.03) and 10yr up 0.9bps at 4.077
Bonds Erase Most of The AM Losses
