Why Were Rates Able to Defy Stronger Data? With at least one Fed speaker mentioning Retail Sales as having a bearing on the Fed's debate between a 75bp and 100bp hike at the upcoming July meeting.

It was also not enough to push inflation-adjusted sales into positive territory. In short, it provided additional fuel for the notion that rec...

Let's Talk About Whether It's Time To Talk About Some Resilience A large, rapid rate spike is frequently one of the best early indicators for at least some small token of a corrective rally.
