In another straightforward trading session, bonds responded logically to a trio of upbeat economic reports in the morning slot. None of the data was top tier in terms of relevance to bonds, but it was relevant enough to move the needle. Refreshingly though, 10yr yields treated 4.19% as a support level, which was the lowest possible pivot point after rising above 4.15%. This doesn't guarantee it will continue to hold, but it does suggest the bond market isn't in a rush to sell off without justification.
