No Easy Answers Today; Still Anyone's Game Bonds were weaker earlier in the trading session but rallied back mid-morning before coasting mostly sideways into the close. Bond bulls were frustrated by the inability to break the floor at 1.27-1.28% in 10yr yields. Bond bears were frustrated by the clear unwillingness to explore new highs compared to yesterday. In other words, it was an "inside day" with lower highs and higher lows, and part of a 2-day consolidation following the highest yields in 11+ months. Such consolidations can be preludes to big bounces OR renewed selling pressure. There weren't any major clues in today's session about which side is going to win.

Looking For Silver Linings Despite Falling Sky After a huge day of snowball selling yesterday, bonds started out in weaker territory today. Hugely strong Retail Sales data and sharply higher inflation told rates to keep on rising, but they quickly refused. Several hours later, a decidedly weak 20yr bond auction made the same suggestion (i.e. higher rates), but yields continued holding modest gains. As far as days with intraday yields hitting their highest levels in almost a year are concerned, that's about as much resilience as we could hope for. Tomorrow will be critical in confirming or rejecting today's defiant show of support.
