• Nothing notable happened today
  • Trading amounted to an inconsequential epilogue to an interesting story that ended yesterday
  • bonds were slightly weaker and sideways

It will be a struggle for me to say anything worthwhile about today's trading session--at least if I take as much space to do it as normal.  So perhaps my lamentation of the pointlessness of this analysis ends up being the analysis itself.

Traders feel the same way, to be sure.  Today reeked of clock-punching trades.  There was no conviction and no apparent strategy--just the very logical, safe continuation of yesterday's trend.  See?

2016-4-22 week in 10's

So today's best recap would actually be one of the recaps from the past 2 days.  Here's yesterday's.  Apart from that, there are more recap-esque thoughts in attached video, and MBS Live members can always stay up to date with the Huddle.
