| 4/14/2026 9:29 AM | ||
| Bonds were fairly flat overnight and haven"t moved much so far in the domestic session. More importantly, until 7am, bonds were slightly weaker even as oil prices have fallen and stocks have rallied. What gives?! If PPI had come in much higher than expected, it would be easier to explain. But despite the 0.1 vs 0.5 reading for core ...Read More | ||
