Sleepy Start to What May Be an Exciting Week
Mon, Mar 4 2024, 4:27 PM
Every now and then the bond market makes a case for a 4 day work week. Today is one of those days as absolutely nothing of consequence transpired in terms of trading levels. Volume was also the lowest since the Monday before the last CPI report 3 weeks ago. That’s a fitting milestone considering we’ve been waiting for this week of data ever since that CPI report sent rates quickly higher, but in case it’s not already clear, it’s the week as a WHOLE that matters. Today was just a placeholder ahead of a steady ramp of scheduled events culminating in Friday’s jobs report.
