| Et Tu, S&P PMI? | ||
| 10/23/2026 8:16 AM | ||
| Little has changed between yesterday"s close and this morning"s early trading. 10yr yields are still several bps under 5%. MBS are still effectively at the highest levels in a month. Tech isn"t happy, with futures hugging yesterday"s lows ahead of the open. One difference, however, is that we"ll get a piece of economic data this morning that ...Read More | ||

Last week"s focus was on Coreweave and a few other companies who saw their cost of financing rapidly increase--a sign that investors were starting to worry about future return of capital. One remedy for such worries is to shift money into the safe...Read More | ||

| Don"t Overthink It. Same Old (New) Story | ||
| 10/22/2026 8:18 AM | ||
| Oil prices are up. Bond yields are down sharply. If this was early September, that wouldn"t make sense. Bonds decoupled from the oil correlation on Fed week and then REALLY decoupled as stronger econ data was priced in, starting with that very weird S&P PMI reaction on Sept 23. Ever since then, yields have been fumbling around in the dark, tryi...Read More | ||

| 10/21/2026 2:58 PM | ||
| It was another ho-hum day for mortgage rates, which is more of the exception than the rule these days. But we"re not complaining! The uneventful, sideways movement means rates are holding in line with the lowest levels in nearly a month. Today would have been slightly lower than yesterday had it not been for some mid-day weakness in the underlying...Read More | ||

| We find ourselves in a bit of a lull in the bond market this week, and we don"t object! Yields aren"t screaming back up toward recent highs. Nor are they extending last week"s swift rally. Both would cause problems for different reasons. Consolidating last week"s rally in this narrow, sideways pattern is arguably the very best thing that could have...Read More | ||
