The bond market rallied on Thursday with 10yr yields dropping about 5bps to just under 3.40% after a smattering of bank drama and softer economic data in the morning. That said, whereas yesterday saw an AM improvement followed by additional steady gains, today's AM improvement gave way to a bounce with a sideways to slightly weaker trend after that. On the one hand, a rally is a rally. On the other hand, we've been in the same old range for months and there's a high burden of proof for a friendly breakout.
