Big Bad Day For Bonds. What's Next?
Bonds sold off early and aggressively on Monday due to higher oil prices implying higher inflation and rates. The sell-off was attributed to timing, technical factors, and the goal of re-entering the 4%+ range. Despite closing at 4.04%, it's considered a short term reset with no guarantee of additional momentum. Sharp selling started at 7am with 10yr up 5.9bps at 4.009 and MBS down a quarter point... more

Starting Out Under 4.0% Despite Hotter PPI
Despite previous instances of relevance almost two years ago, today's PPI results have shown that it currently holds no significance as a market mover for bonds.

Slower Start, More Sideways. Stock Lever in Play
Today, volume and volatility are lower compared to yesterday, but there is still a theme of risk aversion in play. It is difficult to determine if risk aversion is causing the movement in stocks and bond yields or if there is just a correlation between the two.
