Complete Silence After AM Volatility
Complete Silence After AM Volatility
Bonds were mostly flat overnight before a sharp sell-off from 8am through 10am ET. After that, momentum went flat again--especially the last 4 hours of trading. No one is still debating whether or not the AM sell-off was due to Japan's central bank news or a post-holiday return to reality. Yields are back in the pre-Thanksgiving range and ready to respond to this week's bigger-ticket econ reports.
