Bonds began the day in stronger territory with overnight support coming most overtly from a surge lower in UK bond yields. Things changed after the 9:30am NYSE open with some rotation into stocks on strong earnings and the lowest real yields (inflation adjusted) since October 5th. The end of trading in the EU left an even larger imbalance of sellers vs buyers in US bonds, ultimately pushing 10yr yields back up and over 4%. MBS gained a quarter point as of 4pm, but had fallen nearly 3/8ths from the intraday highs.
