| More Losses After Blockade Extension News | ||
| 4/29/2026 8:31 AM | ||
| Last night"s key news on the war involved reports of Trump telling aides to prepare for a prolonged blockade of Iran. The free flow of oil through Hormuz is the key market mover in this war, so it"s no surprise to see oil prices lurch higher in response. Bond yields followed but have managed to hold under yesterday morning"s highs so far. This morn...Read More | ||

| Modest Gains After Opening Weaker Tuesday ended up being a uneventful trading session despite 10yr yields hitting 3-week highs. Those highs were in place right at the open and things gradually improved from there. Markets are expressing a token amount of concern over the lack of progress on US/Iran peace, w...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Rise to 2-Week Highs | ||
| 4/28/2026 2:32 PM | ||

| Highest Yields in 3 Weeks as US Shuns Iran Proposal | ||
| 4/28/2026 9:27 AM | ||
| Bonds sold off slowly and steadily overnight, largely tracing a similarly steady rise in oil prices. The latter is most easily attributed to reports that Trump is not happy with the latest Iran peace proposal although those reports stopped short of saying the proposal was flat-out rejected.

| Modest Weakness, But Range Persists Bonds lost ground today, but not for any particular reason. Most importantly, there was no major reaction to the lack of progress in peace talks over the weekend (which would have been hard considering the talks didn"t happen).

| The word of the day is "stalled." You can"t get far reading top news stories over the weekend without seeing it in reference to the negotiations that looked at least somewhat possible on Friday afternoon.
