The AM So Far...

  • 2 ticks up so far in 4.5's to 99-11
  • tsy futures testing 21 day moving average, good for bonds
  • gains or losses likely to be minimal ahead of auctionat 1pm and FOMC at 2:15
  • International trade came in slightly better than expected, no one cared

Recap of Previous Session

  • Failed test of 99-00 on 4.5 very much confirmed
  • even September coupon closing prices held well over 99-00
  • 3yr auction was great, but impact muted due to more impending data
  • 10yr outperformed pushing to lowest yield since the 5th

In The Time It Takes To Type... (NEW!)

  • Fairly choppy in a good range 2-4 ticks improved.
