Bank health continues to dominate the news cycle with investors buying bonds when things look shaky and selling when days go by without new drama. In addition to the ticking clock, reassuring headlines can also take a toll on bonds. That happened overnight as First Citizens bank assumed over $100 bln in deposits and loans from SVB. A rally in EU equities (led by banks) added to the risk-on sentiment. Domestic hours saw bonds drift sideways to slightly weaker with MBS losing more than 5/8ths and 10yr yields up 16.5bps at 3.535.
