Bonds got off to a weaker start in the new week on a variety of factors. Over the weekend, a few Fed pundits shared more hawkish outlooks, including the WSJ, which pointed out that a 50bp Fed hike could be offset by the higher terminal rate in the dots. Markets already heard the Fed say the same, but in the absence of other news, maybe it mattered. Or maybe the easing of China's covid restrictions was the bigger story adding slight pressure to bonds heading into the domestic session. Either way, it was stronger ISM data that did the most damage, touching off a selling spree that took MBS roughly 3/4ths of a point lower and 10yr yields more than 11bps higher by the 3pm CME close.
