| With no massive escalation in Iran over the weekend, oil prices trickled only modestly higher during Asian trading hours and began to recover during European hours. Early domestic trading kept the friendly trend intact with some help from Trump comments that suggested a limited timeline for the war. That said, the rally was more of a linear trend t...Read More | ||

| Just a Bit More Selling to End The Week Nothing much new happened in the bond market today and that"s not great because the status quo has been for rising energy prices to push bond yields higher (and stocks lower).

During that time, our daily rate index went from 6.09% on Tuesday to 6.41% today--the highest since September 4th, 2025.

| There"s a high bar for econ data to have any impact on bonds these days and that"s especially true of inflation reports like this morning"s PCE.
