It ended up being a fairly uneventful day for the bond market despite starting off on a somewhat rocky note. MBS suffered from illiquidity in the first 2 hours of the trading day and 10yr yields pushed highs of 3.92 on two occasions before dropping below 3.90 after the 3pm close. Traders were squaring positions ahead of tomorrow's Fed announcement and also building in concessions for the Treasury auction cycle.
