Tuesday's Job Openings report combined with Monday's ISM Manufacturing slump to prime the pump for a "downbeat data" confirmation in the week's remaining data. These include Wednesday's ISM Non-Manufacturing and, more importantly, Friday's jobs report. If the remaining data sings a similar tune, it would be hard to make a case for another rate hike from the Fed although next Tuesday's CPI could cast doubt on such conclusions if it happened to surprise to the upside. Either way, it's no surprise to see yields towing the line of lower range boundaries while the relevant econ data suggests the most resilient economic momentum is in the rearview.
