After this morning's initial reaction to Initial Jobless Claims, the rest of the day was uneventful and sideways. By 9:00am, 10yr yields had risen about 4bps to 3.866--which was the exact same level seen at the 3pm close. MBS outperformed in day over day terms, but had a distinct moment of underperformance just after 3pm. From here, we get into consistent daily doses of big ticket econ data culminating in next Friday's jobs report. Volatility potential is increasing accordingly.
