Bond Rally? Not Likely.

Well..They rallied for a few days...But that just looks like it was Short Covering.

September 30-Year Treasury Bond Futures recently down by about two points



While September 10-Year Treasury Futures were about 1 5/16 points lower on supply worries and stronger-than-expected economic data.



It looks like these future prices are really pricing in some serious damage.

Let the Tailspin/Downward Spiral begin.

I should have known better by looking at the 2s-10s spread which has been rising once again.



Mortgage Rates Back Up



So Long Re Finance.

Whats on Tap For Next Week? Surprise! More Supply.

$40 billion 2 Years on Tuesday
$37 billion 5 Years on Wednesday
$27 billion 7 Years on Thursday

Total: $104 billion.

  1. Greenspan sort of predicted this by saying it would never happen - it was his "worst case scenario". Again, thank him and Phil Gramm.

  2. The back up in Rates is not good...but far from a total disaster...The inversion of the yield curve is very worrisome.
    Thanks For the Comments.
