Nice Tuesday For Bonds, But It's All About Wednesday Tuesday turned out to be great for bonds with MBS up nearly a quarter of a point for most of the day and 10yr yields ultimately dropping into the 4.35's by the final hour of trading.  As nice as it is to see a rally these days, it's best thought of as an isolated, random victory without any bearing on the bigger picture.  Granted, we may be seeing some evidence of "value buying" with yields getting near 4.5% on Monday, but Wednesday's CPI would still need to cooperate in order to confirm that hypothesis.  To be clear, there is no way to know whether CPI will do that.  It's just another coin flip in the game of helping or hurting rates, but on a much bigger scale than the average economic report.
