Market Movement Recap
08:45 AM
Stocks stayed modestly stronger in the overnight session with the street giving credit to generally positive earnings reports. Bonds avoided paying too much attention, spending the night mostly flat and starting the domestic session in just slightly stronger territory. No major reaction to the Durable Goods data.
12:55 PM
Very little to report as bonds are little-changed from the outside. Treasuries are minutes away from digesting the 5yr auction and that could be a reason yields are near the higher end of the day’s range. 2.0 UMBS are outperforming, up 3 ticks on the day (0.09) still trading just shy of 103.00.
01:04 PM
5yr auction, 2.88 vs .284 forecast. Not causing a huge reaction, but could be the reason for modest weakness in Treasuries just now
03:22 PM
A bit more weakness over the past 90 minutes with 10yr yields now up more than 2bps on the day. MBS are still positive. Stocks are at their highs.
