| While plenty of uncertainty remains over the finer points of Wednesday afternoon"s tariff announcement, markets have heard enough to brace for impact on global trade. That "bracing" is being traded in the form of a flight to safety (sell stocks, buy bonds) that began yesterday and continued overnight. 10yr yields were already close to 4.0% before t...Read More | ||

| Late Day Volatility on Tariff Speech The long-awaited tariff speech took markets for a ride in both directions this afternoon. After the dust settled, the net effect was "buy bonds, sell stocks."

| Mortgage rates didn"t move much today, which is pretty crazy considering the volatility present in financial markets in the afternoon.

| Data Helped, But Wild Cards Remain on Deck This morning"s economic data wasn"t immediately and obviously worthy of credit for the bond rally that followed, largely because the bond rally that followed was fairly small.

| While interest rates continue operating in a range that is generally flat and narrow over the past 5 weeks, it"s also true that today"s rates are on the lower edge of that range.
