Next week is one of the most exciting and potentially significant weeks we've seen in a while. It has a unique confluence of data, events and background. This includes all the normal top tier data associated with the first week of the month, a Fed announcement, a quarterly Treasury refunding announcement, the likely resolution of a consolidation pattern at the highest yields in more than a decade, and it's all occurring at a time when officials (and friends) are talking about the disconnect between recent economic data and the increasing chorus of contrary anecdotes. Perhaps that helps explain the current week so far which has seen big swings in both directions. Today's installment included a paradoxical reaction to stronger GDP data and then a logical reaction to a strong Treasury auction.
