No Love For Bonds Despite Decent Auction and Stock Sell-Off

Bonds started the day in moderately weaker territory and traded a sideways range (in the bigger picture) all day.  It was roughly the same story for MBS with 3.0 coupons not underperforming Treasuries nearly as much as yesterday.  The 1pm 5yr Treasury auction was strong, but there was only a modest in-range rally before bonds continued to weaker levels. Bonds weren't even able to take solace in the lowest stock prices since June 2021.

08:12 AM

Weaker overnight amid a risk-on move for financial markets.  10yr yield up 3 bps at 1.976.  UMBS 3.0 coupons still trying to find liquidity (typical for this time of day), but should be just a hair below 'unchanged' (currently an eighth of a point lower due to illiquidity).

Additional weakness at the 9:30am NYSE Open.  MBS down just over an eighth to new lows.  10yr up 5.4bps to new highs (1.996).
