Modest Recovery From Morning Weakness

Bonds were slightly weaker this morning in a move that looked like it might have been significant when compared to yesterday's narrow range.  But in a just-barely-wider context, today's volatility was just as inconsequential as almost any of the days in December so far.  With that, we'll continue to count down to next week's bigger-ticket data and more robust trader participation.
