Mortgage Rates Drift Slightly Higher to Start The Week
Despite political and geopolitical headlines, the bond market has seen little inspiration in the past 2 business days. Bonds and rates have moved slightly lower, possibly in response to last Thursday's lower rates or in anticipation of caution ahead of upcoming data and a Fed announcement. The losses have been modest, leaving rates in the middle of their range over the past 2 months. Retail Sales ... more

Slow Start Leaves Focus on The Next 2 Days
Bonds rallied last Wednesday and Thursday but pulled back slightly on Friday. Trading levels at the start of the new week are similar to Friday's levels. The focus is on Wednesday's Fed dot plot for potential bond market volatility. Geopolitical headlines have not had a significant impact on bonds. The overall trend appears rangebound, but there is evidence of a general downtrend.

Opening Weaker Despite Israel/Iran Headlines
Israel's attack on Iran caused stock market gains to be erased and pushed bond yields to the lowest levels in over a month. The overnight trading pattern is unpredictable and despite the volatility, over-analyzing it may not be worth it. There are various factors at play influencing bond yields, including economic strength and inflation, with oil prices potentially being an ancillary consideration... more

Higher Bar For Additional Gains Despite Lower PPI
The PPI core monthly number came in at 0.1 vs the forecast of 0.3, leading to a small rally in bonds that was not as significant as the previous day's rally. The outcome may have been priced in to some extent, and the yield curve and Fed Funds Rate expectations are also factors to consider.

Nice Rally on Data and Auction Results

No Drama Today. How About Tomorrow?
After a slow start, the bond market remained flat throughout the day despite a weak 3yr Treasury auction. Trade talks between the US and China are potentially extending into a 3rd day. Tomorrow's focus will be on trade-related news, a 10yr Treasury auction, and CPI data. The market cares more about long-term inflation outlook rather than current data.

Bumpy Start; No Data; Waiting on Auction and Trade Headlines
Bonds are experiencing a small amount of volatility this morning, but it is not significant in the overall market. MBS have returned to unchanged levels after a brief moment of weakness at 10:15am ET. 10-year yields rose slightly but are still almost 1 basis point lower. The Treasury auction and trade-related headlines are expected to drive any bigger-picture momentum in the absence of relevant ec... more

Gentle Rally Gently Reverses After Trade Headlines
Bond markets closed stronger, maintaining most of the gains from the morning. However, a slight increase in 10yr yields later in the day was attributed to positive comments on US/China trade talks.

Perfectly Logical Reaction to On-Target Data
The bond market experienced a sell-off following a modest beat in the NFP report, despite negative revisions. Wednesday's rally was based on expectations for Friday's jobs report, which did not meet expectations. The NFP remains at decent levels and is not as concerning as recent weaker data would suggest.

Jobs Report Not Bad Enough to Justify The Lead-Off
The bond market was initially expecting a lower number for the non-farm payroll report due to recent weaker economic data, but when the actual number came out at 139k, traders rushed to get back into a more neutral position. The unemployment rate remains relatively steady at 4.2% and the previous month's NFP revision does not indicate significant weakness.

Overnight Trading Makes No Guarantees
Overnight trading initially reacted to news of a U.S. trade court blocking Trump tariffs, but the markets quickly reversed course the following morning. Bond traders do not believe the court ruling will have a lasting impact on tariff policy. Economic data released in the morning also contributed to the reversal, with weaker claims and GDP numbers.

Minimal Movement Amid Absence of Data
The bond market had a fairly uneventful session, with the 5yr Treasury auction resulting in little change. Traders sold off before the auction and bought back in afterwards.

Bonds Finally Seeing Some Support
Japanese bonds, weak labor market data, and re-positioning after a holiday weekend contributed to bonds hitting their best 3pm close in 2 weeks. The heavy selling in May and recovery from high yields suggests a short-term ceiling until further notice. The upcoming week's data will provide more information on momentum shifts.
