Nice Recovery But Resistance Remains Rates were under pressure overnight with 10yr hitting the highest yields in more than 2 weeks.  Since then, bonds have surged back into stronger territory but remain more or less blocked by the same old floor.  Econ Data / Events 20min of Fed 30yr UMBS Buying  10am, 1130am (M-F) and 1pm (T-Th) Consumer Confidence 92.6 vs 94.5 f'cast , 98.3 prev Market Movement Recap 08:16 AM Bond weakness continued during Asian hours, but reversed course in the European session.  Domestic trading is starting out just barely stronger for bonds and weaker for stocks. 09:16 AM 8:20am CME open brought buyers, plain and simple.  It wasn't huge, but it was enough for a few bps of strength in Treasuries and nearly an eighth of a point of gains in MBS.  Stocks aren't doing anything interesting yet.  No other market movers in play.   01:02 PM MBS were already at best levels, but Treasuries are heading back in that direction after a strong 7yr auction.  MBS up a quarter point.  10yr yield down nearly 3bps.  Stocks have been rising, but still a hair weaker on the day. 03:37 PM Best levels of the day now, potentially benefiting from stock market losses.  10yr yields challenging the .58% floor (but not clearly breaking it).  2.0 UMBS up a quarter point at 103.125.
