Broad, Negative Momentum is Masking Normal Market Movers
Tue, Jan 14 2025, 4:45 PM
Tuesday featured a much weaker PPI report that failed to inspire any lasting rally in the bond market. While there were a few ways to reconcile that specific turn of events by examining the internal components of the data, it’s also true that bond market momentum has been broadly negative recently. At times like this, data has to work harder if it wants to push rates lower. It can even seem like rates move higher whether the data is good or bad. Today’s recap video includes an in-depth assessment of this phenomenon. Long story short, things are still mostly logical, as long as we’re considering all the pieces on the board.
