Slow Start; Light Calendar This Week
After a rally reversal following last week's jobs report, the bond market is facing a data-free week with little movement from last Thursday's close. Thursday saw heavy selling, potentially ending the rally trend from late June.

Minimal Impact From PCE Data
Bonds were slightly weaker at the start of the final trading day of the week, but this was not due to the morning's PCE data. The PCE data did not cause much of a stir, despite core monthly inflation being slightly higher than forecast. Lower income and spending offset the higher inflation. Bonds improved slightly, but headlines about the Senate's push to approve its version of the spending bill h... more

Modest Friday Bounce Does Little to Alter Bigger Picture
Bonds gave up their gains late in the day after a decent recovery, likely due to Senate moving closer to a spending bill vote and Trump declaring an end to trade negotiations with Canada, potentially implying inflation pressure.

Bonds Don't Always React to War Like You'd Expect
Long-time bond watchers generally believe that war leads to increased global economic uncertainty, driving safe-haven demand for US Treasuries and helping rates. However, the recent Russia/Ukraine conflict resulted in a paradoxical spike in rates due to inflation implications. Despite anticipation of a similar risk with oil prices over the weekend, there was no significant reaction in bonds. As th... more
