When it comes to defining the recent range, there are several candidates for the upper and lower boundaries.  When 10yr yields were under 2.40%, that was the best boundary to watch.  A break over 2.40% suggested 2.42% was the next line of defense.  And finally, 2.44% serves as the last bastion for 2017's sideways range.  We were very close to it by the end of yesterday, and we're currently trading above it as the glut of data and events roll out.
