With modest overnight weakness and a small negative reaction to this morning's headlines (ADP and Treasury issuance), bonds may be encountering some more resistance on their journey toward lower yields and higher prices. Is this a meaningful signal or just incidental consolidation?

10yr yields aren't panicking, but they're up roughly 3.5bps on the day at .546 after a strong ADP revision and big increase to Treasury issuance. As expected, MBS are outperforming amid general bond market weakness with 2.0 coupons down only 3 ticks (0.09) at 103-20 (103.625).
Modest weakness after super strong ISM data (not necessarily because of it). MBS and Treasuries at weakest levels but not panicking. 10yr = .5477%, UMBS 2.0 down 0.09 on the day (3 ticks).
General malaise (or insignificant consolidation of the previous rally?) continues as MBS hit their lows (down almost a quarter point). 10yr yields are sideways near their higher levels of the day.
