Bonds were moderately weaker overnight with EU inflation data leading the way. Domestic data at 8:30am added to weakness with just 5 minutes of serious selling that ended at 8:35am. 10yr yields hit their 3pm closing mark almost exactly in line with those 8:35am levels (4.075). MBS ended up outperforming throughout the day and almost made it back to their pre-data levels--at least when we look at 5.5 coupons.
