The jobs report has come and gone without offering anything too terribly interesting for the state of the labor market or the prevailing trading range. In fact, the NFP reaction actually reinforced the trading range by pushing yields squarely above 3.40%. With that, attention turns toward next week's CPI data to help shed light on the most likely direction of the eventual range breakout. That waiting game occurs against the backdrop of ongoing potential bank drama, which proved itself to be just as much of a market mover as any of the data this week.
