Back in The Range Without Needing Too Much Convincing
Thu, Jun 27 2024, 4:31 PM
Unlike yesterday, the overnight session sent bonds into domestic hours at perfectly unchanged levels. Almost all of the movement happened after the 8:30am econ data. Connecting the data to the movement takes a bit of creativity and quite a bit of sorting. We can immediately throw out the Q1 GDP data as being too stale to be relevant at this point. That leaves Durable Goods (negative revision and big miss for nondefense, ex-air) and Continuing Jobless Claims as leading contenders. Both may have contributed, but it’s hard to say which contributed more. Either way, bonds rallied into the 10am hour and went sideways from there.
