Bond market volatility exploded on March 10th after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. There hasn't really been a day since then that would qualify as "boring," but if we had to pick one, today stood out. It had the narrowest trading range of any day in weeks. After losing a bit of ground early, momentum was decidedly 'sideways.' There was no strong correlation with the stock market (a hallmark of recent trading patterns). And there were no big ticket reports or events that did anything to change the narrative. All in all, it was a placeholder in the quest for more relevant inputs.
