Market Reaction...

Stock futures rallied up to 1,106, the S&P's high print following a better than expected read on the labor market last Friday (NFP).

The 10-year Treasury note yield extended its overnight losses and is now -0-11 at 99-13 yielding 2.693% (+4bps). The 2s/10s yield curve is 4bps steeper at 217bps.

The October delivery FNCL 4.0 is -0-05 at 102-16. If lenders take down pricing indications right now, rebate will be worse today.

Both benchmark rates and stock futures are testing key pivot  points after 830 data.  Government debt traders will lean on the better than expected read on initial claims to allow the long bond to cheapen up before TSY sells $13 billion 30s later this morning. In terms of stocks, trading desks report that investors were reallocating funds from bonds to stocks in the overnight session...is this when the S&P takes a run at a sustained rally? Who knows. This market is so fickle and unwilling to commit. I say play the range until the range plays you...that means we have to assume S&Ps might run up as far as 1130 before we see a significant turn around. The S&P needs to break 1115 first (200 day moving average).
