Straightforward Gains After PMI Data
Tue, Apr 23 2024, 4:35 PM
Tuesday’s session was infinitely more interesting than Monday’s with the caveat being Monday was a total snooze-fest. Bond market volumes were much closer to recent averages and there was even some logical, data-driven volatility. As always, volatility can go both ways and today’s went the right way after S&P PMIs came in well below forecast in both Manufacturing and Services sectors. Relative to recent norms, the move was far from big, but it looked big compared to Monday. Notably, even before the data, yields were holding under the technical level at 4.65. The gains merely solidify the sideways vibes that have been in place since the middle of last week.
