Bonds rallied overnight of their own volition and in concert with overseas markets. Gains were steady and not insignificant. Unlike many recent examples, US traders didn't push back against the movement seen during overnight hours. If anything, US traders added to the move. This was mostly true for the longer end of the yield curve (i.e. 10yr yields fell way more than 2yr yields)--a fact that suggests some of today's rally is due to a correction in the sharp move in the opposite direction for the yield that began last Monday. Motivations and particulars aside, what does this resilience tell us about the heretofore relentless uptrend in rates?
