Bond yields trickled sideways to slightly stronger to start the overnight session, but experienced better gains as the big news out of the UK made the rounds.ย The news in question was/is a retraction of the budgetary announcement that was primarily responsible for the rate spike that began 2 Friday's ago (2 days after the Fed meeting).ย More than half of that sell-off has now been retraced with US 10s starting the day trading just under the 3.71% technical level (down more than 11bps).ย MBS ...

Bonds traded an almost perfectly straight, gradually-sloped line toward higher yields overnight and were even able to mostly ignore moderate volatility in European markets (much more so than normal).ย We knew today's AM data would play some sort of supporting role in shaping the outlook for next week's Fed meeting and it has not disappointed in that regard.ย Unfortunately, that role is incredibly dynamic given the multitude of mixed messages.ย Paradoxically, traders' takeaways seem to be to m...
