It's been a consistently bad week for the bond market and this morning's data offers little objection. But the damage is playing out in an uneven way with shorter term yields moving higher much faster than long term yields. This is to be expected to a large extent due to Fed rate expectations' stronger correlation with shorter-term yields (MBS are somewhere in the middle). As such, 10yr yields are managing a fairly flat day despite higher PCE inflation, and 2 year yields are up 6+bps.
