Fairly Big Sell-Off, But Last Week’s Range is Intact
Thu, Oct 17 2024, 5:27 PM
Bonds dealt with a trifecta of unfriendly economic data today with slightly stronger Retail Sales leading the charge. Jobless claims and Philly Fed certainly didn’t help. In the desert of data that exists between each month’s jobs reports, only a handful of days stand out as potential sources of course correction. Today was one of them and the 8bp sell-off in 10yr yields confirms it. Despite that reasonably big jump, yields are still under last week’s highs. That’s a decent consolation prize–one that suggests the market will remain willing to rally if it sees cracks in the next round of relevant data.
