A "No Reaction" Sort of Day
Granted, there were no big ticket economic reports on tap for Monday, but there were several events that had at least some small chance to inspire some momentum. These included the 2 and 5 year Treasury auctions (both earlier in the week than normal due to month-end falling on a Thursday) and Treasury borrowing estimates for fiscal Q4 (Jul-Sep). The latter is part 1 of 2. The 2nd part arrives on Wednesday afternoon with the full breakdown of new auction amounts. Today's release provided an updated total amount. After filtering out the noise, and giving credit for undershooting borrowing needs last quarter, borrowing estimates only increased $4bln for Q3 and Q4--not enough to stress out the bond market today. Bottom line: no discernible reaction to the auctions or the Treasury news. On to econ data now, starting with Tuesday's Job Openings at 10am ET.
