| It"s Time to Play "Name That Line" | ||
| 10/8/2026 8:36 AM | ||
| Bonds were initially moderately weaker this morning morning in a move that followed oil prices and hawkish Fed comments. Chris Waller said more hikes were needed due to a strong economy, persistently high inflation, and the risk that inflation expectations would become unanchored after 5.5 years above target. This hit the short end of the curve&nbs...Read More | ||
| Full Recovery! | ||

| Full Recovery! The patient looked critical this morning with 10yr yields pushing up to new long-term highs just over 5.36%, but by the early afternoon, there was a full recovery. In fact, most of the recovery arrived after 9:30am ET (and before 11am ET). Any time 9:30am kicks off a big move, we think about ...Read More | ||

| No Surprise: It Was a Trap | ||
| 10/7/2026 9:07 AM | ||
| If there"s been a safe bet to make on isolated rally days over the past 2 months, it"s that they"ll be soon followed by a return to the prevailing trend toward higher rates. Today fills that role with gusto. We hate gusto--this kind anyway. Unfortunately, this kind of gusto is all we have, and there"s no convenient, singular explanation even though...Read More | ||
| Today Was "Nice" For Bonds | ||
| 10/6/2026 3:02 PM | ||
| Today Was "Nice" For Bonds Bonds bucked their prevailing trend and managed to move slightly lower in yield today. Unlike yesterday"s session which had no clear correlation with underlying events, today"s move traced a drop in oil prices fairly clearly. Some analysts thought that an improvement in French gov...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Near 1-Week Lows | ||
| 10/6/2026 2:40 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates actually fell today--something they"ve done only 7 times since August 25th.

Is this a sign that recent upward momentum is starting to wane? It"s to...Read More | ||
