5 for 5 on Uneventful Trading Days; Next Week Should be Different
Heading into this week, if we had to guess, we would have expected things to look about how they looked. Specifically, yields didn’t challenge the trading range and economic data wouldn’t have a huge impact on bonds. Perhaps that would have been different if the data fell farther from forecasts, but it didn’t, so we can only guess. Either way, we know the upcoming week contains bigger landmines and more of them. So if we had to guess, we would expect a range breakout to happen for better or worse, or at least rapid swings between range boundaries (i.e. 3.42 and 3.62 in terms of 10yr yields).
