| Bonds Find Some Solace in Warsh Despite a Bit More Selling The past 2 days have been rough for the bond market--nothing catastrophic, but "brisk" in terms of unexpected selling pressure.

| In a real sense, today"s rate update is more of an addendum to yesterday"s rate update. Yesterday afternoon saw heavy, continued selling in the bond market amid a flood of trading associated with the end of the quarter. Because mortgage rates are directly based on the bond market, this resulted in multiple lenders raising rates late in the day (aft...Read More | ||

| We find ourselves in the 3rd quarter of 2026. The stock market has made the headlines, but between a) the reduction in the number of publicly held companies, and b) the weight given to AI-related stocks, it is worth reminding everyone that the stock market is not the economy. Economies are complex, as are countries. Did you know that more Europeans...Read More | ||
| Tuesday Sell-Off Sticking; Warsh and ISM On Deck | ||
| 7/1/2026 8:28 AM | ||
| Bonds have added modestly to Tuesday"s big quarter-end sell-off (a phenomenon that has nothing to do with the sorts of fundamental developments that dictate a vast majority of market movement). Thankfully, the random plumbing-related volatility is behind us as we begin the new quarter. Old-school potential volatility awaits. The morning"s first ord...Read More | ||

| Why We Saw Steady Selling All Day We expected volatility would pick up on Tuesday for one reason or another and it did not disappoint.

| Data Ramps Up And Another Dash of Quarter-End Trading | ||
| 6/30/2026 8:21 AM | ||
| Before looking at trading screens this morning, the first order of business would have been to mention the ramp up in economic calendar activity. While the line item count is respectable, it"s really only the 10am Job Openings data that packs enough of a punch to represent any serious volatility risk. Even then, sometimes it hits and sometimes it d...Read More | ||
