Rough Week For Bonds. No Help From Friendly Data

Bonds managed to recover modestly after the initial yield spike in the morning hours, but nonetheless earned the honor of seeing the biggest week over week jump in 10yr yields since 1981 (note: some outlets are saying 2001 or 1987, but we're not seeing that, and it doesn't really matter.  It was a rough week, is the point). Looked at as a 2 week time frame, and it was on par with many other recent examples of moderately brisk selling.  That leaves the upcoming week and a half in a great position to let us know how freaked out we should be.
