Overnight Weakness Gives Way to Modest Gains In absolute terms, it was a moderately active day for bonds as 10yr yields moved inside a respectable 7bp range (4.37 to 4.30). In day-over-day terms, we're left with merely modest gains, but no one's complaining. Early trading raised concerns about a technical break above the 4.34 ceiling. As we discussed yesterday, such breakouts can just as often serve as cues for buyers to get back in the pool, and that appears to have been the case today. Stocks had one of their calmest sessions in recent memory and bonds didn't exhibit any of the typical correlation.  U.S. bond traders simply showed up in line to buy some bonds, and that was that.
