Today's ISM Manufacturing data played the role of coalmine canary today, and although it's not the most vigorous canary anyone's ever seen, it also wasn't dead. That wasn't good for bonds today as ISM is viewed as a good early indicator at times when the market is waiting for a certain shoe to drop (in this case, tariff/policy/uncertainty impact on econ data). ISM is also often heavily traded due to its proximity to the big jobs report (in this case, the following morning). If nothing else, the market's willingness to react to economic data once again is fully confirmed.
