Much of the past week has been spent monitoring the "post-Fed correction"--a nominal pull back in the impressive rate rally of the past several months following last week's Fed announcement. If you prefer "buy the rumor, sell the news" on the Fed rate cut, it's the same thing. By the end of this week, the correction finally looked to have leveled off, even if it got a bit of help from cooperative econ data. The timing is frustrating for those looking to predict the future as next week brings us even more squarely into a data-driven episode for bonds/rates. The not-so-frustrating thing is that the correction was never very large (downright small, even).
